I have installed Linux (peppermint 11) . I've installed FAH and am folding OK. My issue is none fo the 3 GPU's I have are recognized. These are a
- BFG Tech nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS OC PCI-E
Sparkle GeFORCE 8500GT PCI (not Express !)
ASUS AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GD3 (PCI-E)
However going forward, can anyone suggest a graphics card (PCI-E, AGP or PCI) that I can source second hand that :
a) will work with Linux/FAH OOTB or fairly easily
b) is typically under $50
c) Is passively cooled
d) has a few years of likely FAH support left
many thanks. I enclose my spec and log file in case it helps
