NVidia cards are in 90% of Linux machines which use any HW acceleration
at all. Why? Because ATIs Linux support has been total shit. And you
know it. You're just sucking their dicks because they will open their

Personally I'll stick with NVIdia because of their excellent support
over the past years. And I suggest others do too.
