I tried GeForce first (9500-GT), didn't like it, and then Radion (HD 4850). It's
maybe a little better, IMO. But after many years of using ultra-reliable
Matrox, I don't find either GeForce or Radion to be anything worth writing home
about. It seems neither outfit has fully mastered constructing drivers yet.
