Well I certainly wouldn't try it.  My experience with the ATI drivers was
awful, and they also drop support for chips way sooner than is realistic
(they drop support from the current drivers while still selling the
hardware they are dropping).

It's a shame AMD bought ATI since now you are stuck with ATI's chipsets
and drivers to go along with the otehrwise very nice AMD CPUs.
