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.
