Maybe just a line in the videocard section that conveys something to the 
effect of "if you seem to be having problems getting Blender to do 3D on 
your computer, go to such-and-such forum" and put the Blender forums 
(are the old ones back up and running yet??) or maybe elysiun.com or 
whatever. That way this project won't turn into a videocard resource, 
but it give people a starting point if they ARE having video card problems.
