I've been doing a lot of reading and apparently to get my Leo install working 100% I'm going to need to just completely replace those two components. I currently have a 512mb 7600 GS AGP card, which from what I understand no one is able to get working ( although someone please correct me if I'm wrong ). What I would like is either an AGP or PCI video card (I don't have PCI-E) that works out of the box with QE / CI, etc. Preferrably the cheaper the better... I don't game - I jst want something that will give me the full eye candy and play back smooth video.

Secondly, I currently have an onboard VIA VT6122 Gigabit LAN adapter but it doesn't look like there's any driver support for it ( again someone correct me if I'm wrong ). So I'd like a cheap PCI network card that works out of the box as well. Thanks!

X1600pro is working perfectly, but maybe it's a bit old. Network drivers: It depends on what u need. I used for long my standard nForce 4 LAN adapter, but If I'm doing network with other Macs one of the computers crashed with a kernel panic at large files. I switched to the 2nd LAN-port of my board, its a Marvell chip, and this works fine. So try one with a Marvell Gigabit 88E1115 chipset, it works with skge.kext.
