I'll try the ATI cards but I'm not hopeful. We had been running high-end SGI's to do our job but I managed to get the office to switch over to Linux for almost everything (including our ships). NVIDIA just runs fast. I don't have a problem with paying for software or hardware. It's not a religious issue with me. Just like I won't have a problem with paying for Ardour eventually.
