I simply wonder if it is better to take a graphic card with an ATI or a

I experienced the FLOSS driver for NVIDA as working better for e.g.
transparent windows, than the ATI one. Regarding to the proprietary
drivers ATI doesn't support many cards for each version of Catalyst and
some older versions of Catalyst won't run on new versions of X, while the
proprietary NVIDIA driver usually does support many NVIDIA cards and even
older versions usually can be used with newer versions of X.
So NVIDIA is better than ATI, but IMO it's not important what's integrated
to the mobo. If everything on the mobo is good, just the graphics should
be an ATI, I anyway would try using the ATI and if it won't work as
needed, I would get an NVIDA card, for less money.
