Dear all, Thanks for your suggestions. From what I learned new GPUs from NVIDIA are using the Optimus technology which does not support Linux, meaning that only the dedicated graphics on the system will be used in Linux. Does it still make sense to go for NVIDIA instead of ATI? Eric

It's best to have dedicated NVIDIA (don't have much experience with ATI, but it is my understanding that they may be more difficult to configire sometimes). However, Intel on-board graphics has gotten much better recently (in fact, Intel releases drivers as open source (guess because they are not
