Does > anyone have any comment about them? kernel newbies has some information for you to start your research: Section 3 DRIVERS: Section 3.1 Graphics: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges#head-d08660c208028aa2b3783826cd7935ab510b736f You might also use this page for comparison purposes: http://freestone-group.com/video-card-stability-test/benchmark-results.html Personally, I like ATI, but it more because I believe that AMD will come closer to doing what's best for opensource rather than Nvidia or Intel. It would be great if I'm wrong.... When you spend your money, you are "casting a vote", imho. hth, James -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
