2) Graphics Cards:
I like the Nvidia cards since they provide linux drivers. ATI also does
now. I would say the only thing I don't like about them is when you do a
kernel update you have to remake the driver.
I would just add that for those using Fedora, you can avoid having to remake
the driver by using the RPMFusion repositories to install the Nvidia drivers.
This way updating the kernel automatically installs the corresponding Nvidia
kernel module. The same applies to AMD/ATI drivers.
The same is true for SUSE distros: you don't have to recompile the NVIDIA
drivers (or the ATI ones, AFAIK) on a kernel upgrade as long as you have
enabled the correct package repository for the driver.
