Lead Head:
Scrapping the review, waiting for the newest version in a few days.
worker201:
Would having a review of 2 consecutive versions be such a bad thing?

Possibly not, but it would seem a bit pointless this late.

Linux has never had very good support for ATI drivers. I have heard, however, that the Nvidia drivers are very good on Linux, but that is only because they actually release the drivers, whereas ATI's are not. They have no "free" version.

ATI has been continually updating their linux drivers now. They actually got the Catalyst Control Center over on *nix now. Also, afaik nVidia's drivers are proprietary as well? I know ATi released some 3D Specifications of their older cards for people to create their own drivers
