Well, my criteria was a bit different. For a recording studio application I
wanted zero noise. All of the NVidea I looked at, as well as most of the
ATI, came with fans on them. My Pro Tools friends pointed out this specific
model, which is NOT made by ATI, it's just an ATI chip. It has worked very
well for my limited use of it so far. (I.e. - I have NO recording studio in
Linux anymore. Bummer...)
Anyway, for a business app, or where you need more performance, I think
NVidea is a better choice right now, but for us low-end flunkies, $69 for 2K
FPS playing tuxracer is attractive. ;-)
Take care,
Mark
