All I know is that it's great having options! Remember when you JUST had ATi?

i was just thinking to ask the same question.

yeah options are great. it means more competition and better products for us :P

but what i like bout apple is that it spares me from making many options. they just built the damn thing for u . u only get to choose for a few things. and thats why everythin works so well . COMPATIBILITY.

Right now, the ATI is based on newer technology. The 9700 Pro is the top of the line...right now. Nvidia's next-gen card was supposed to be out last fall, to compete directly with the 9700, but it is now scheduled for release in about a month or two.

Follow that link...it talks a little about it.

Good luck....

I would guess you're a gamer...if not, maybe consider the next grade down for savings. I have the GeForce4MX w/64 meg of ram....Now I'm not a gamer, but that card is good enough for me by a mile.

Just a thought

well if it was the old days of ATI, i would say go with nvidia because of the better drivers, but ATI has fixed a lot of those problems. They are making a comeback push...especially with the way the NV30 (GeForce FX) came out...
