The only real alternative (Intel comes and | goes) is Nvidia whose driver is binary-only for i386 (no amd64 | support) and has a history for being notoriously buggy. I only buy ATI | because of the problems I keep seeing people have with the Nvidia | driver. I have a friend who has basically abandoned his dual-head | Nvidia card due to recurring issues. One thing that is a plus with nv is that X has some support for it, whereas, the newer ati cards have no support :-( I was a fan of ati since it was easier to get support. Now I'm starting to lean towards Nvidia :-( Doug A.
