[ale] AGP Video recommendation...

[x3 at ChangingLINKS.com (ChangingLINKS.com)]

VERY incorrect.

ATI has open source drivers that are more stable and faster than Nvidia.
Nvidia tampered with benchmarks results.
Nvidia has closed source drivers that have have historically been difficult to 
install. I have used both cards and was able to get the same quality with 
better speed using ATI cards. For cost, open source drivers, less tampering 
with results, great quality, speed and stability, go with ATI.

Further, (at least with Suse 8.2) installation can be done using ONLY the 
mouse. (assuming you log in root).

Disclaimer: I do not work for or invest in ATI. I have had Nvidia cards for 
years, and finally did research and testing. I ended up buying 'knockoff 
brand' ATI cards for all of my computers.

Suggestion: Buy both cards, see for yourself, return the Nvidia. :)
