[GLLUG] Linux Accelerated Graphics

[Chick Tower]

I'm getting ready to put together a new PC.  I'm not looking to make a 
gaming machine, but I would like to be able to play Quake 3 Team Arena 
and Unreal Tournament.  I'll almost certainly get a motherboard with the 
graphics hardware included on it.

If I recall correctly, it used to be that nVidia graphic cards worked 
better than ATI cards when running Linux.  Is that still the case, or 
are they pretty much the same now?  I know it used to be easy to install 
the nVidia drivers; are ATI's as easy to install?  Thanks for any 
information you can give me.
