[SATLUG] ATI Garbage

[Ernest De Leon]

I can't say I have had the misfortune of owning anything from ATI, but
contrary to popular belief, NVidia always seems to work better with linux
despite the 'open source driver' FUD.  I always buy NVidia because they seem
to be better performers and they work better overall.
