Re: [SLUG] Low - mid level graphic card recommendations

That's certainly out of the norm, at least from my experience (with a 
couple of boxes). Before I the motherboard died, I was running an athlon 
machine with a Geforce2 MX 24/7 for 2 years. I was rebooting every 2-3 
months (usually for kernel or hardware upgrades), but iirc, never had X 
or the box crash on me.

Perhaps it's something funky about your work machine? Have you tried the 
non-proprietary drivers? (If you can)
