Choosing a video card - Nvidia or ATI

[Dev Tugnait]

I use nvidia geforce 2 60mb never crashed X never had a panic or reboot it runs so much more better on bsd than linux. If you have a low budget nvidia all the way. Current uptime with X on desktop is 45 days and X hasnt crashed ever since i ran it :) and yes good movie and dvd playback too

I have been reading up on the matter but some things remain confused after reading through both this list and xfree86.org, namely what support I might expect for things such as accelerated graphics using either an Nvidia or ATI chipset.
