I'm just curious.

My little laptop here has a Intel830m.

Just a quick poll

Laptops: ATi Radeon 9600 (M10) 128MB (never again), Trident CyberbladeXP, ATi Rage M3.
Desktops / servers: nVidia GeForce 6200 256MB, nVidia Vanta NV6 64MB, nVidia GeForce4 onboard, nVidia Riva TNT 64MB, SiS onboard (several).

Like okmyx, I don't think I'll be throwing money in ATi's direction again anytime soon. Seem to have had better luck with the nVidia drivers.
