The problem at ATI is they have released bi drivers Only for the
8500 ->up.
I have 2 original Radeons, not some of the cheap ass crap they trying to
pass off as such now, and since 7.2 other than the short period of time
recently when drm was not in the kernel pkg I have had no
performance problem from either card.
I also have 2 nvidia cards, a g2 and a g3 and i use the bi drivers,
which can be fun sometimes when the kernel is updated almost daily,
finally moved the g3 to a 9.0 system.
$ for $ and feature for feature the most stable and dependable cards I
have are the ATI Xpert2000 with rage 128, and again the orig 128 not
the 128 Pro that they are using now.
The only way I see Nvidia considering open sourcing there drivers for
linux would be for the PC gaming industry to make a Serious entry into
the linux market.
