I've been happy with the nforce2 board I have - but I am seriously
considering getting an ATI Radeon 8500-9250 (I think that is the range)
that have working OSS 3D drivers. Just for tuxracer.
Though I think to be fair - there are only working OSS drivers for
those cards because of reverse engineering. Too bad 3dfx didn't make it : (
There are reports of ATI cards not liking nforce2 boards.
I had an ATI 9600 and dumped it for nVidia. I haven't tried the
latest kernel and driver yet. I found nVidia was much more supportive
the Linux than ATI. But as you state, it is reversed engineered.
I never got tux racer to run with my ATI. :(
