Nvidia doesn't actually make cards.  They design the chips, then license
them to other companies to actually build the cards.  Under each, you'll
see the "Chipset" listed as some flavor of nVidia.  As far as I'm aware,
all current nVidia chipsets will run perfectly well under linux, just
download the driver from nVidia's website or use the repository.

p.s. I'm not Scott. :)
