nv verses the world

[mal]

I read a post that a guy called Alan made that the 3D video folks would 
rather work with friendlier vendors than Nvidia. I have also noticed 
that there is a lot of  post along the lines of  ' nv doesn't do this or 
that' and that NVidia binary explodes with FC2. All this is a bit 
depressing since I have an Nvidia card too!  I even went to the trouble 
of building a new kernel so that the Nvidia would work, which is a bit 
daunting for a beginner and is a real pain.  So I figured it may take 
weeks ( if ever) for Fedora and Nvidia to play nicely together but it'll 
only take me 20mins to go down to PCWorld and get another video card.  
So the question is ... What is the most capable card that I can get that 
is totally supported by GPL drivers.  I know this is really a back to 
front way to solve this problem but I am fed up with this situation.
