Did I blink and miss something? Since when was AMD/ATI considered a better
hardware/driver than nvidia? Through experience I have found the nvidia
driver buggy and sometimes filled with performance issues, *but* it also has
a lot going for it and its flaws are replicated in other brands. Quality
wise, it has always performed a lot better than any ATI hardware ever has
for me (though it's been a year or so since I've put myself through that
hell). nvidia almost just works.

Please, if you know of a mid-range AMD/ATI card that has
near-Windows-performing drivers and does just work (in 2 and 3 dimensions),
let us know...

If you don't and you're just talking ideology with fancy open source 3d
drivers, who gives a damn? Not me. I care about what *works*.

(Since you brought it up, and others carried it on, I didn't think you'd all
mind a couple more emails on the topic)
