- the one in the office : GeForce 7600GT, driver
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run

- the one at home : GEForce 7300, the driver was downloaded 10 days ago
( I do not have it here ) and also 64 bit.

These two workstations have the same motherboard Gigabyte 965G-DS3, bios
version 7 for the home one, bios version 5 for the office one.
