Which CPU to use with UBUNTU

[Rei Shinozuka]

i'm with you on the nvidia over ati.  i'm struggling a bit with
my RV710 [Radeon HD 4350] but i've never had problems with nvidia.
my last desktop had an NVIDIA GeForce 7050PV/NVIDIA nForce 630a.

i've run intel, and right now i'm on a AMD 955 Quad Core Phenom II
