Hello. I'm looking to buy a new workstation that needs to be able to run in 64-bit (long) mode (working with large data sets). What are my options for 3D acceleration without binary drivers? My needs are quite minimal, I'm not running any games. As far as I can tell, only onboard Intel graphics and some ATI cards can provide acceleration without blobs. Is this really the case? I'm currently looking at the cheapest ATI cards as it seems that nobody makes a motherboard with the Intel onboard graphics that's compatible with Xeon CPUs. Am I going to be disappointed? Thanks, xw. Please CC: me as I'm not subscribed.
