OK, that about does it. (Score 1)

Some weeks ago, for the first time in my life I bought an ATI card (9800Pro, 256MB) to go with my shiny new AMD64 system. Shortly after attaching the watercooling, I realized that I'd been badly burned concerning ATI's linux drivers... my fault, really, to believe that the very existence of linux drivers (which was all I checked prior to purchase) would enable me to at least play Tuxracer or similar under linux - but I did not reckon with ATI not supporting either 64-Bit systems (and AGPGART messing up with KT-800 Boards)... For some time now, only the fact that attaching the watercooler to a new 6800U (I do get into a sweat when doing that) would mean voiding the warranty on a ~$500 product kept me back.
With these benchmarks now, however, I feel no reason not to return once again to nvidia (remember Homer getting his job back at SNPP?)...

ghaa... all the wasted money...
