I avoid their hardware. > Being rather liberal minded, I appreciated the cost savings versus performance of my nVidia card and don't mind the closed source drivers. I understand those who don't think as I do but the card was extremely cheap and absolutely rocks performance wise. But then again I'm a GUI kind of guy so good graphics are essential. I guess that if I was just a CLI kind of guy I'd probably use whatever. But although I despise gaming, which I must assume all the anti-GUI types do as well, I like a nice desktop and the cool XMMS plug-ins. I like Nate's ATI card but it was more than 3X the cost of mine. Both are dual head and 64MD. I'll put up with closed source drivers. The packeaged NV dtiver that came with X 4.0.X worked well, right outta the box. Isn't that OS? Steve - Ramblin' Man Is my sarcasm showing?
