I disagree that Heavy 3D support requires the NVIDIA blob.  You can also
choose the AMD/ATI blob.  Or, depending on your needs, the ATI Radeon HD 4670
card may work with Free Software drivers.  (IIRC, this still requires a
firmware blob, but things are getting better.)

You're right.  I meant, Nvidia *or* AMD binaries.
