   I hear you, but my situation remains the same: I want to use HDMI to   
   watch vids, and right now I can't justify the money to buy a linux tested   
   HDMI card.   
      
   The upside is that the GT630 card that only works in Windows may some day   
   make a Windows machine more saleable, though it's a good thing I'm   
   retired, because I see nobody lately wanting to buy desktops at all, and   
   thus I get less and less repair work too.   
      
   It seems that even the laptops are dying out... some tablets still   
   wanted, and EVERYONE has a smart phone.
