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.

eh?? what about the "SEE ALSO" section in XFree86(1)?
also, on this site:
http://www.ati.com/support/faq/linux.html
note for the Radeon 9700, 9000, and 8500 where it says:
"XFree86 drivers available on the ATI website support hardware 3D
acceleration (RPM format for i386 only at this time).
Open source 3D drivers may also be available or under development from
the DRI Project."
and on dri.sourceforge.net I read that:
"Radeons up to R9200 are supported"
