<br><br>-DR-<br></blockquote></div><br><br>If Intel puts out some competitive PCI-E cards I would seriously look at em myself. I would much rather support Open Source by going with them and the open source drivers(Though I would rather support competition by buying AMD CPUs;). There has been a rumor about Intel starting to develop discreet graphics, that has some credence behind it, but I haven't heard much about it lately since they put up a job posting leaning towards it.
<br><br>At the moment though I have NVidia as they work reasonably well in most cases, but as mentioned above I would jump ship to a truly open source driver willingly(And am hoping for good things from Nouveaux, or however you spell it). However as my workstation is now serving dual purposes, my audio work, and developing for a windows based game(Yes, yes, I know, a different topic so lets not pick it up here) I have to make sure that it can get good video performance in Windows, and still be useable in Linux for Audio work.
