The nv driver is also developed by nVidia. Basically it is the nvidia
driver minus the stuff that nVidia cannot release (either because it is
their trade secrets or it is technologies licenced from other venders).
Either ways, the nv driver is very good, but basically lacs 3D. If
you're not going to do any gaming, then nv is fine.
The ATI driver is *not* inferior to the nVidia driver, as many believe.
It's simply not as simple to install. Once installed the image quality
and performance is every bit as good.
