IF you want to use 3D windows manager like compiz-fusion go with nvidia, with ATI I only had problems. I do not know about the new ATI. I have an nvidia 8800 GTS and I love it. The laptop has an intel in the mobo and also works great with compiz. For 2 D the ATI was great. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
