I know about that nVidia issues which starts on GeForce 6100 chipsets and 6800 VGAs - especially in notebooks where cooling system is poor. Mine have very good cooling and changed thermal paste - temperature in IDLE is about 45 degrees and not more than 55 in stress. I will use it to the end of it's days Hot air soldering station is waiting on my desk

ATI 4850 costs 80-90$ which is to much difference for similar performance.
