August 1st, 2008: bought a cheap nVidia graphics card.

Brand: XFX
Model: GeForce 7200GS

I don't know how good (or bad) is that brand... I suppose the model is very basic but it will give me hardware acceleration for video playback and the possibility of use of Linux 3D desktop effects...

By the way, I found that the resolution of the LCD monitor mentioned on the previous post is simply an 16:9 common widescreen ratio but I still have not connected it to my PC... Let's see if I can do it after installing the graphics card...
