What Scias said +1.
I'm running an Ati Gpu, the proprietary driver has come a very long way and is more than decent, only problem i have is the lack of reliability between updates and having to wait on Ati to release a half compatible driver with the latest X-server.
That being said if i had the choice i'd go Nvidia for reasons already stated, less hassle overall etc.
Edit: Just to emphasize that i'm talking about the proprietary Ati driver, open ones are still very meh, very very meh. Also i think Scias meant as minimum Core2Duo processors, Pentuim dual cores are old as fu now and most new rigs/laptops etc come with a Core i5 or better anyways, so getting a low end i5 shouldnt be costly.
