AMD died to me when they bought ATI and continued to refuse to provide decent Linux drivers. Now I don't consider either brand as even existing, and spend my money accordingly. I ran nVidia for about 12 years (since I built my first PC in highschool), and in the past few months I've switched my home and work PCs to ATI HD4650 cards due to nVidia's refusal to make a halfway-decent 2D driver. Intel's always been good, and I was holding out for their discrete line, but once that was cancelled I gave ATI a shot, and in 2D land, they work really well. 3D is functional, but it's probably pretty slow compared with what the card should be capable of. Anyhow, I'm a lot happier with ATI's linux drivers than I was with the nVidia ones.
