Hi, I'm about to buy new video card, and was looking at ATI PCI-E Radeon X550. However, I don't see that particular chipset mentioned anywhere in docs. The X300 is there, as well as X600 and X800. Does anybody have Radeon X550 card running under CentOS 4? With 3D acceleration?

Bang/Buck under Linux is nVidia. Especially the GeForce 6200 for $50 these days (just get a 256MB TC version which has 64MB of RAM). Otherwise the 6600 and 6600GT (GDDR3) are $100+ with 128-256MB.

nVidia's Standardware drivers are more stable than the ATI Standardware drivers. There are _no_ DRI/GLX drivers for either.
