I've always had the best luck with installing/using nVidia cards.  ATI has 
always given me problems (sometimes the drivers work right, sometimes they 
don't).  When I was forced to re-install Windows and Linux on my laptop (due 
to a sudden hard drive failure), it took me several hours just to install the 
Windows drivers for the ATI.  Kept complaining that I didn't have an ATI 
installed.  Yet, Kubuntu got it right the first time during the initial 
install.  Go figure.
