Jumping in late on this thread.  After weeks of frustration with and 
ATI card on a new computer, I bit the bullet and purchased a nVidia 
card and was up and running within 30 minutes of paying for it with 
full acceleration.  :)

I lost money on the ATI card though but it was a learning experience. 
  Made sure my new laptop had nVidia.
