Yeah. I wouldn't use a Radeon myself currently, because I want good 
cross-platform  driver support. Currently, you just can't beat NVidia's 
drivers under X. If ATI improve theirs to the same full-featured 
standard (texture compression anybody?) as their 'doze drivers and 
NVidia's linux drivers... I'll have a Radeon as my next video card, no 
problem. I /want/ that video quality.
