Remember one thing: The existance of an open source driver says nothing
about that driver's performance, stability, or quality.

There have been a *lot* of issues regarding Intel graphics lately.

Plus if you're into 3D performance, I don't think Intel's your friend.
Intel makes graphics for business computers.

They tend to just work. They tend to also be fast. And they are well
supported by nVidia. And proprietory.

ATI appears to be worse - lack of performance, features, and support.
Also proprietory.

Currently you can't have your cake and eat it.
