You can always attract Windows Users with this board. Your Radeon is supported for Win XP with a driver dating from November 2006. And you even get XP drivers for a 7000. I must admit that Vista drivers from ATI are provided for newer cards, only. This imho nevertheless shows that ATI handles Linux users with a Radeon 9000 that imho is not "too old" as second class customers. > > Ye, my other machines all use nVidia cards. > Hopefully the fact that AMD is now on the open source bandwagon will > convince me to go back to ATI in the future. > Not for me, I prefer to buy where I am treated like a worthy customer.
