How is ATI support better than Nvidia ? As far as I know, both provideI had nothing but bad experience with Nvidia's binary drivers. They kept locking up my machine completely. The open-source alternative, XFree86's nv driver, is completely pathetic. The XFree86 Radeon driver, on the other hand, has performed so beautifully for me that I never felt the need to try their binary driver. YMMV.
binary drivers, and nvidia was at this game much earlier than ati.
Steve Freitas is now my definition for typical case for an nVidia user these days.
On my laptop (dell), once I got the nvidia driver working (ok, it tooks me some days) , I never run in troubles.
