NVIDIA or ATI

[Lucas Holt]

If you are going to run freebsd 5.2.1 there aren't a lot of hoops to 
get an ATI card to work, but some people have reported better frame 
rates and less graphical glitches with nVidia cards.

I have an ATI Radeon 9000 64mb AGP in my PC and its working fine.  I 
turned on glx and dri in X11.  From my understanding, you don't need to 
mess with dri on nVidia cards?

If the machine uses an nforce chipset, don't buy an ATI video card.  
Aside from that, either should work.
