I don't believe that the second X server issue has been worked out. I'm 
sure that the ATI card would work nicely in a second computer. nVidia 
does provide a lot of support for their Linux cards. If you bought one 
of the 7xxx line in either AGP or PCI Express, you should be quite 
happy.  Some of the 6xxx line cards are very capable performers as well 
and they are a little cheaper.
Happy fiddling
