Nvidia or ATI

[Marcelo Cavalcante]

ATI drivers are much better. That's a fact. But, for how long it will be?

Question? Does your sister enjoy games? Heavy games.. with a lot of 3d?

If not, I would choose an Intel based card. Why?

Intel is one of the big players behind Linux development. They have a lot of
money behind it. So they do use to maintain great drivers for their cards.

With Intel cards you will probably never have problems with linux.

my 2 cents..
