I have an ATI Radeon X800 graphics card using the fglrx and AMD has greatly improved the driver over the last year. The performance for my X800 is the same as it would be in the other OS. AMD has also been delivering same day graphics support for all of their new cards. So if you wanted to buy the latest ATI 4870 graphics card it does work. nVidia has support for their latest GFX, but it is in their beta driver so don't expect that to work in any distro yet. Phoronix has benchies if you want to see them. Brian /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
