i just wish developers would make more games that work in both linux and windows ( ie- ut04 and quake wars any one? )

My friend had an Xpress 200m that worked just fine...idk how he got it working, but it was in his old Compaq laptop. I'm pretty sure it used a PCI-e bus though, so it wasn't an AGP issue like I'm most likely having.

You all misunderstood.When nVIdia comes out with a new line lets say "the 5000 series" for example. You know that 5200 is their budget card. 5600 is their middle tier card. 5800 is their top end. Sometimes they make an Ultra/GT/GTX.When all you have is a higher number you don't know it the card is a new budget card, or a new top end.

why would you care about intel if your running linux anyway? If your going to make a cheap new linux appliance or server or desktop or whatever, your going to base your system on amd to keep costs down. period. what sense does it make to spend a crap load on hardware just so you can run a free operating system when its less compatible than xp? The point of linux is that its simple, fast, and CHEAP! if you guys are that concerened about everything working without tweaking, go with xp on an intel platform.
