In the communities of users of some open source projects with a heavy 3D bent (e.g. the Flightgear simulator), it seems like most use nVidia and are quite happy.

I don't doubt that you've seen lots of complaints from nVidia users; but I suspect it's because of population size. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
