Well I have a $100 gift card for amazon and decided to use it to get a new video card. I also run vista and occasionally a live cd for linux but I spend 90+% of my time in freebsd. My main use of the machine is (java) development, light office apps, maintaining my companies web site and light gaming (the only thing I use vista for) [currently c&c 3 but I want to try some newer things {I never play first person shooters}]. I have never used anything except nvidia cards but in seeing that the closed source driver is not going to be out anytime soon for amd64 I am willing to consider an ATI. Suggestions? - -- Aryeh M.
