Thanks to everyone who pitched in an opinion, that was indeed what I was after; the sort of input you just don't get from an HCL. :)
Based on that, I think we'll go with ATI. My own experience with video cards is pretty out of date these days; I still remember when a Voodoo was the best you could do. Given our needs for reliability and my own mistrust of closed code, nVidia gets a black mark. I don't have time to go hunting at nVidia's web site the next time apt-get upgrade breaks compatibility with the existing version of their kernel driver, and we /must/ keep these machines patched up to date. Performance is nice, but 24x7 reliability is more important for our purposes. Thanks again for the shared experience. -mrj -- # Michael Jinks, IB # JFI/MRSEC/EFI Computing # University of Chicago # -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
