ATI drivers are much better. That's a fact. But, for how long it will be?<br><br>Question? Does your sister enjoy games?

I'm building a new system for my sister in New Brunswick and want to pick the brains of the list. I've had good success with Nvidia based cards/boards but was also considering ATI. It is my understanding that they have released improved drivers. <br>
I've checked the Ubuntu forums and it appears that since Jan 2009 the drivers seem ok. Anyone on the list using them? I'm interested in their hybrid cross fire as well.<br>
