Its this one "nvidia geoforce GT218 geoforce 210" from about 2009 and not an OEM card. I want to get away from Nouveau as releases of it or Mesa (?) seem to affect just how bad the beeps get in frequency.
Love these cards. I have several GTX 280s that are more graphics card that I'll ever use. It's a pity Nvidia, and distros in general, don't build drivers for these cards by default. There is so much hype of the Nvidia Model No. "next", that perfectly good hardware is basically pitched to the side. What a throw-away society we have become. We know we are killing the planet with our excess, but think nothing about how the throw-away approach to everything contributes to the problem. Anyway, I'd still put a new squirrel cage fan in the card and see if it help. Build the Nvidia driver if that's what you have to do. If I had one in a box I'd fiddle with it. -- David C.
