I suspect binaries on i386 will be somewhat smaller. But amd64 has more
registers which might give some speed advantages. I haven't tested it, but

Thanks.
Do you by any chance have a link to supported cards?
Do you know if this driver supports Composite? OpenGL?

Support for r300 based cards is coming as well.
Do you know if this driver supports Composite?

Thanks everyone, based on the info I am returning the nvidia card and
getting an R4xx instead (found an X850 for under $80 still sold; seems to be
well enough supported). I still want to try amd64; other limitations do not
bother me that much (I do not care for wine or win32 codecs).
