Really? I'm using a GeForce 2 MX 400 (64Mb) RAM, and I get an excellent 
picture with a Philips 109P2 monitor, using the nv driver for X.

Given that you've been using FreeBSD since 2.x, this question is going 
to be insulting, but...

Have you specified everything you can in the XF86Config file? Monitor 
rates, monitor measurements, etc? Seems strange that the same graphics 
chip could give such different performance.
