nvidia vs Ati


I am planning on getting a new video card. I have a nvidia geforce2 right now and it works great under linux. I have not had any problems. I have noticed that some of the Ati cards seem to have a bit better performance in some of the tests on the hardware review sites. I was wondering how the Ati support for linux is. My system is currently has an Asus A7N8X Deluxe with an AMD 2400+ and 1G of 3200 ram.

ATI is beating Nvidia in the vid card game right now. However, nvidia provides better linux driver support and with your nforce chipset, you'll likely be better off matching it with an nvidia card to make it easy on yourself. They (nvidia) kinda set it up that way I speak from experiance...
