Roland, out of interest, which was the last ATI card you used? As far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with their two most recent generations. I bought a Radeon 8500 in late 2001 and was pleasantly surprised after hearing all sorts of horror stories about their drivers. I think I can remember one game that gave me problems (Grand Theft Auto 3, I think), and was directed quickly to ATI's support site, where they had compiled a patch. In late 2002, I upgraded to the Radeon 9700 Pro and was again very impressed.
From a gaming standpoint, ATI's anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering is significantly better than Nvidia's, and also performs significantly better.
