@energyman: I know about some people that suffered with the "connectorgate" scandal... I even advised them to buy ATI next time (most of that people were using Windows instead of Linux...). But I also have some friends that use nVidia for a long time and never had problems... Now, I'm trying it for the first time (look at the "Goodbye ATI thread")... The "bumpgate scandal", if you're telling about the rebadging of nVidia cards, can also be applied to recent ATI card releases (except for the >77xx (aka GCN) series).
Cheers
p.s.: Still using a rv730 (4650AGP) card...
