I use XP & Linux.
I would like to read some Linux tests
With open source and propietary drivers for ATI and NVIDIA
For example with Quake3&4 tests.
Because between similar performance cards for Windows
I would choose the best one for Linux.

From personal experience, I'd go with Nvidia for Linux... I have an ATI GPU and I've pretty much regretted it from the day I installed Ubuntu.

Livna has a prepackaged nvidia rpm that I installed and it works really well. The type of linux tests I would like to see are hardware tests especially for compatibility. For example, webcams, scanners and other usb devices are difficult to insure that they'll work with a distro. Another thing that would help is a paragraph that is part of a hardware review about whether the product works with a common version of linux. While there are some good web sites out there, maybe some reviews would help convince a manufacturer or two to supply drivers for linux...
