I would like to point out that if you want decent drivers for gaming or
something that you go with a radeon 8500 or higher, and you have to get
the drivers from ati and install them. Not sure how difficult it is
because i have a 7000 :( And quite frankly the acceleration sucks. I get
about 15 fps when playing a game like counter strike or quake. The
nvidia cards are cheap and the drivers are great ... once you get them
isntalled.
