I'm a longtime branded ATI All-In-Wonder junkie now with the 9600. I need the gaming gpu but won't give up the tv tuning ability.
X supports basic graphic functions but doesn't take advantage of the the card's potential. Maybe with ATI under AMD's roof, we'll see accurate chip specs or at least some vendor written Linux binary drivers.
ATI tv tuner support finaly comes to X natively in 7.1 (think it's version 7.1 anyhow) but this is still guess work by some smart developers instead of ATI supplied binaries.
Please ATI, PlEEEase; don't make me switch to nVidia with a third party tuner board.
Say, what's the linux friendly best in bread tv tuner board or usb box these days?
I'm just now mucking with the NeverWinter Nights linux binaries from it's enlightened developers. We'll see how this experiement plays out.
ATI makes a good chip or at least continues to play leapfrog with nVidia. The benchmark for my next machine upgrade is going to be gameing and virtualization (read; monstrous multimedia and ram). Show me that it's going to include an ATI GPU.
