For a graphics card? ATI cards have always been horribly troublesome.
I'd be willing to try an AMD graphics card if I got one for free, and
unless they can prove as trouble free, as well supported with drivers
and giving at least the same performance and durability for the same
money as NIVIDA cards have for over a decade, I have no reason to buy
one, and my recommendation is to run away from them *fast*.

Well, what's the alternative to NVIDIA cards with their drivers? I
don't know of any.
