If you plan to use Linux, you need to decide whether you want to use a tainted kernel. (For those who are not familiar, users of tainted kernels tend to receive very little support or sympathy in the event of a kernel panic.) nVidia refuses to release documentation, so the open nVidia drivers are not nearly as good as the open ATI drivers. In particular, multi-monitor support doesn't work with the open nVidia drivers.
