I am very happy kubuntu on my laptop and having problems with my desktop (never thought I would say that about Linux)!
I have enabled restricted drivers and am using the nvidia driver but there are some issues. I do not have compiz fusion enabled but I am running dual monitors. The load on the system is <1 even when working however the screens are slow. I mean they take forever to draw things. There are trails when I move windows and so forth. I have no effects enabled at all to add to the GPU load.
Here is the first part of glxinfo:
Relevant xorg.conf pieces:

I cannot think of anything else that would be useful. I know that this card and these monitors will function will under Linux have run them for the last year under SLED 9 and 10 with Beryl. I have a strange feeling it is something simple I am missing but I have been beating my head against a wall for better than a week now. I am able to work but it is driving my absolutely batty! Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot think of anything else that would be useful. I know that this card and these monitors will function will under Linux have run them for the last year under SLED 9 and 10 with Beryl. I have a strange feeling it is something simple I am missing but I have been beating my head against a wall for better than a week now. I am able to work but it is driving my absolutely batty! Any help would be appreciated.
