So either I'm really really dumb or google has officially lost my respect O_o I can't for the life of me figure out what video card will work in my PC without going to some stupidly old thing off ebay.

I think it was to advanced for my desktop as my computer is 2005 (I know a dinosaur in computer terms).

I'm looking to purchase a new digital camera. I currently have a Nikon Coolpix L18 and it takes FOREVER to take a picture so it annoys me. I'm considering a Nikon Coolpix S6100 or a S8100. Do you guys have any experience with either of these cameras or is there one you would suggest? Thanks :-)

For windows, just go here and grab the EXE: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ (It will recognized you are on windows, and give you the correct download) For Ubuntu (and Ubuntu based distros such as LinuxMint), you can add the (unofficial) gimp PPA by running this in the terminal "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn " Then "sudo apt-get update" For RPM based distros, you're on you're own...
