ATI video + Intel CPU = Fucking Win.
Seriously though, the card all depends on what you want. I have to admit though, ATI's Linux Drivers are a bit unreliable, whereas the Nvidia GfX cards are well-supported.
Your CPU choice, however, is dissapointing. I'd go with the Intel, and, from what i've seen, the Most Capable ones are the Intel Xeon Quad-Cores. The Comp I use at work has one, and It's a Monster.
I never really liked AMD processors because the Only ones that seem to be worth a shit are the 64-bit ones...
and 64-bit = Instant fail...
Well, Since you're on a WinDoze comp, the ATI Support is unquestionable.
But, To make sure that you get the best performance from your ATI card, be sure to use NGO Tray Tools rather than the regular Catalyst Control Center.
The only problem i've had with ATI cards in windows is the trouble you have to go through to get a Dual-monitor setup to stretch the start bar/Desktop background between the two monitors (eg. start button in the bottom left of the left screen, system tray on the bottom right of the right screen, using only one 3840x2060 background.
Dual Screen works fine with em, they just want to clone the background.
Anywho, I'll upload and attach the NGO Tray Tools program when i boot back into Windows.
I don't care to read, all I know is ATI + AMD = GOD, or INTEL + NVIDIA = GOD.
ur sorta right...because that not all there is to it...intel is a pain in the ass to upgrade...
and jackel i use omega drivers....u???
Here's how it is:
AMD 64+ NVidia = Suck
AMD 64+ ATI = Awesome
Intel 386 + ATI = Ultimate
Intel 386 + Nvidia = Awesome
Intel 686 + ATI = God's Gift to Video
Intel 686 + NVidia = LORD OF ALL THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED VIDEOGRAPHIC
dude i have a 7900, and a fx 60 and its still pretty sweet...i just want dx10 and quad core
all i can say ATI+ADM 64 i have prety suck-ish...
