DUDE!!!!! I think he probably meant that there is no hardware 3D acceleration support for the GeForce series. Under Xfree86 3.3.6, you can't use the card at all, IIRC, and under Xfree86 4.0.3, you'd need a kernel module to support DRI, and nVidia has only made their module available for Linux. So although the card does work, you'll have to do all your 3D stuff is software.
