For some new models things might be different but they aren't allowed for older ones to just release the specs. Also I had experiences with both ati and nvidia:nvidia just increases in performance from driver version to driver version, while ati's just might work, sometimes you need to get the drivers from official site to work, other times work from portage, sometimes you need to search on f.g.o for a solution, one is never sure with ati(I never was) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
