ATI vs Nvidia

Just wondering what you folks are running, and what your preference is video card wise, and why.

Personally, I started my PC days on a dell dimension 4200, Came with a nVidia 5200 fx. That card blew up on me, Literally. A capacitor blew, and the card had a whole in it! So nVidia sent me another, and that gave me the BSOD. So i said to myself, Forget this. And i tried ATI out. And i've been happy ever since. I have crossfire ATI 3850's right now.

Nvidia for me! Although, my current video card is actually built into my mother board which means it's a piece of junk!

I keep saying I'm gonna get a new card but really, what I need is a whole new computer!

ATI! my old radeon 8500 still can run Comfiz, a cool 3D desktop effect for Linux.

FYI, I hated nVidia since their 3DMarks affair, back in 2003.
