Thank you Dave :)

NVidia's Homepage says only those will be supported, resp. some versions
of those cards, that's why in this list some are two times (I did'nt
copied the numbers):

GeForce 7300 GS
GeForce 7300 GT
GeForce 7300 LE
GeForce 7300 SE
GeForce Go 7300
GeForce Go 7400
GeForce 7600 GS / GeForce 7600 GS
GeForce 7600 GT
GeForce Go 7600
GeForce 7800 GS / GeForce 7800 GS
GeForce 7800 GT
GeForce 7800 GTX / GeForce 7800 GTX
GeForce 7800 GTX 512
GeForce Go 7800
GeForce Go 7800 GTX
GeForce 7900 GS
GeForce 7900 GT
GeForce 7900 GTX
GeForce 8400
GeForce 8400 GS

The 7600 GS cards I've found are to expensive for me, from the passive
cards up to 50.00 EUR I've found, the following seems to be the most
high-performance ones:

GeForce 7300 GS
GeForce 8400 GS

There's also one, that's not in the NVidia list, but it's advertised
with OpenGL 2.0:

NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT

Maybe 3D is fine, but high definition TV not, or something like this.

I should take a look at the different passive PCIe GeForce 7300 GS and
GeForce 8400 GS once to be on the safe side.
Maybe GeForce 8400 GS is newer and better than the GeForce 7600 GS.
After all the specifications are relative and not absolute relating to
the performance, if they are not extreme different.

Cheers,
Ralf
