Decent Graphics card / 64 bit system / imaging

[Arc Riley]

I'm trying to understand why a majority of people on this list find it
acceptable to /recommend/ hardware only supported by proprietary drivers

nVidia 3d acceleration is only supported with proprietary drivers

Radeons have a comparable price/quality comparison and are supported by free
drivers builtin to the Linux kernel, Mesa, Xorg, DRI, etc using specs
released from ATI/AMD

IMHO, every lug across the country should be crying to boycott nVidia until
they join AMD, Intel, and Via in releasing specs, if not for the market
pressure than for the pragmatic element of not needing to install
proprietary drivers to make something as basic as accelerated video work.
