nvidia or ati ?

[Kahn Seidl]

here is the low down with ati vs. nvidia in linux

ati doesnt care about linux, there drivers horrible.

in the time before last release drivers, a geforce 5700 would beat a 9800 by 
a sizable margin.

nvidias drivers are much better and perfom much better.  the new ati drivers 
improve the situation, but, it is still crappy compared to nvidia.
