If I decide to buy a notebook, my choice for the present will be one with ATI. Or I just spend the money on Pentax SMC DA 55-300, and wait till Nvidia's chip cycle to refresh, or ATI release more stable and feature-rich driver Yeah well, coping with sucky driver is a lot better than facing an imminent fate that your hardware will cease to function in not so distant future.

I built a computer about 3 or 4 months ago, and wanted a solid system. I went with building an AMD based system. I like AMD much more than Intel, so the Spider platform was the choice for me. I have had my share of problems. Some having nothing to do with the hardware. On the graphics side, I have learned to cut Compiz off, and just run metacity. This allows me to play full 3D games with out the graphics hosing up on me and having to restart GDM. I do know that with Cat.8.8 Crossfire for the hd4xxxx is supported as well as multi GPU. I don't expect AMD will back date their drivers, but will work on going forward. They may get around to Crossover for the hd38xx but I wouldn't count on it.
