[CoLoCo] Fw: Re: [Fwd: Ubuntu Video Card Upgrading Questions]

[John Edwards]

Personally, I avoid Radeon like the plague.  The last one I had refused to
use the proper video settings for my computer. It would always boot to
400x600 and I had to manually set it to what I normally use, and the support
people could do nothing but scratch their heads with it.  It wasn't just
windows either, but Ubuntu had problems with it realizing that it *could* be
set to a higher resolution.

Stick with nVidia.
