If you look at it from a purely monentary point of view, yes, you are most likely correct. However, one has to remember that a LOT of people that run Linux are "computer people" that users rely upon for advice. What card will we suggest, a card whose manufacturer actively supports linux, or a manufacturer that's like SiS? Once you take this factor into account, there's a completely different kind of analysis needed.
