Don't do it if you can avoid it.  Both ATI and nVIdia proprietary
drivers have caused me no end of pain in the last 8 years or so.

Also, the radeonhd drive is the open source driver but it does not
support all ATI devices.  It *only* supports the recent line of "HD"
cards, basically the 38xx and later.  For older cards you are limited to
the proprietary fglrx driver.

I just picked up a Core i7 and an ATI 4890.  It should be interesting to
see how this rig works.
