I used to use ATI. Accidentally, the last computers I bought had a NVIDIA card. I heard Linux support of both boards would be similar.
Not quite so. Example: ATI card, 2 monitors with _different_ resolution, CentOS 6. Nouveau video driver (which in fact is wrapper using open source drivers) works perfectly: no need for sysadmin to gig into X11 manual configuration.

Um, I'm a tad confused here - so far as I know, nouveau is *only* the driver for NVidia cards, *not* for ATI.
Note, also, that I've never managed to spend the time to get nouveau to support twin monitors; I use either kmod-nvidia, or d/l the proprietary ones from NVidia, which work just fine.
