[ale] Video Card Recommendations

[James Taylor]

Every single NVidia card I've installed (at least a couple of dozen and counting) has worked perfectly using proprietary drivers.

ATI cards have worked well also.  Previous to the recent driver enhancements I had to do a lot of prep to install them, but now they are very easy to set up and work well.

Intel cards work, but the open source drivers they provide create a massive vacuum.

The GeForce series has been on the market for years and I would expect no problems.
I don't know about PNY in particular, but assuming the card is reliable the drivers will work well.
