ATI maybe fine for windows but is a waste of money on a linux system. Their driver are total garbge. I was thinking about swapping an ATI card in place of my Nvidia and was over at rage3d and there was a thread about linux and ati drivers and someone posted a benchmark from a 9800 running glx_gears they got 1000 fps just to put this in perspective I get 1250fps with a gf2 gts. next time I upgrade cards I'm not going to get a top of the line card it's just going to be something in the $100-150 price range and not ATI.
