I have always had Nvidia cards and they are great. I love the single driver that works for all the various models. Im rocken my 8800 GTS 640MB right now.

ive had a monster fusion something or another (off brand crap from the 90's)
a geforce2 mx 400 in my first build (yeah im going way back in time i know, i think i was 10 or 11 then)
then a radeon 9200
then radeon x1300 256
and i had a laptop (gateway mx6453)with radeon xpress 1150
then my next build had a 8500gt 512mb
and now im at the 8800gt and i can honestly say im very happy with nvidia
the and i'll probably stick with them until i see that ati comes out with something better than nvidia

I voted nVidia, but my HD3870 has changed my mind. Price/Power ATI has it for sure, and their HD encode/decode kills comparable nVidia cards.
Right now my Sapphire HD3870 is at 885/1356. That's with my current rig (x2 4000+. 2gb ampX ddr800, msi k8m890) and i have the fan to auto, which is generally under 60%

yeah thats nice, do games play at those clocks? I know most cards take a pencil mod to get around 890 gaming stable.. If that one does it on stock volts, thats great!
