It's interesting to see so many people railing against ATI cards and preferring Nvidia these days. I guess it depends upon your concerns. For years now, I've always bought ATI to get usable 3D performance and support out of the box on my Debian machines. I just use the open DRI drivers distributed with the kernel and Xorg. I've avoided Nvidia to avoid the displeasure of trying to get kernel support from the lists, and they won't talk to you until you reproduce your problem without the proprietary drivers loaded. I also don't like to sit around waiting for 3rd-party drivers to come out. I've come to understand that I'll not get compiz or beryl (flashy 3d desktop environments) to work anytime soon on my ATI card, and I must admit that I don't push my machine performance with many games. Have circumstances in the Nvidia/ATI worlds changed? -- John M Flinchbaugh john@hjsoft.com
