Definitely nVidia. ATI's proprietary driver is shockingly bad... I had no idea how poor it was until I was forced to swap an ATI card into a system last weekend -- I eventually got it (sort-of) working, but jeez. My replacement nVidia card arrives tomorrow. FWIW, now that ATI has been purchased by AMD they've begun to release enough hardware specs for a quality driver to be written by open source folks. That will take some time though. -- Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
