Howdy Points,

Glad your still at it.From what I read on ati's web site your cards should still be supported with the new Ultimate or any os with the new xserver.If you upgrade my instructions should still work to install the new drivers.The kicker is you will have to do a new install to take advantage of the new ext 4 file system.But you can save your /home.

Hello, Personally I have had issues with ATI cards even when they supported them! Besides they could next week, next month or next year, decide to drop your card. I am not going to say I never had a problem with some Nvidia card ie, taking out one card and putting in a different model, but was able to get them to work, usually just do a fresh install with the problem card installed and the OS told me what driver to use. So, I would pick the newest Nvidia card to install first, if you have unresolved issues then used the older one. I have 10 computers all using some model of Nvidia cards. I have swaped out different cards on most of these computers with nothing more than the OS telling me a newer driver is available, install it and go!

Hello points.

In my personal experience with ATI & Nvidia GForce cards, i would of to say Nvidia is my first preference over ATI cards. Not that Linux is not compatible with both, but when its boils don't to performance & compatibility with Linux, for me Nvidia really gives you that little extra that is needed to make things happen. E.g "Compiz Fusion, Games etc" works like a charm no hassle, Plus Nvidia are more widely used over ATI even though ATI have some of the top cards on the market!! So i would say, go with the 9600 GT 512, very good card. If you choose to go 8800 GT its still not a bad buy as these are two of Nvidia's top cards on the market right now.
