Well, the 3D stuff is nice, but I was really hoping to watch TV. Maybe I'll get lucky and the GATOS people will have a break-through.

Depending on your motherboard and chipset, nvidia may not be all that great either. I have the latest nvidia drivers, but nvidia will not run agp with my VIA chipset. So I get just a little faster glxgears times with the nvidia drivers than with the standard opengl and X drivers.
