Also note that the X300 is a prior series R300, and not the latest R400. It's like comparing to a GeForce FX5700LE. I think people forget that nVidia gives you the option of using the MIT drivers for 2D only, and the proprietary drivers with 2D+GLX. The 2D drivers work very good _if_ your GPU logic is supported, just like the MIT ATI drivers as well. And there is some UtahGLX and other support for nVidia as well. I think people tend to demonize nVidia when they give you just the _option_ to go 3D/GLX. And ATI is definitely _not_ a good poster child against nVidia. 3DLabs would be a better consideration as they push are for full OpenGL compliance with no extensions or after-the-fact ARB extensions. -- Bryan J.
