    I've been searching for comparisons between the two. Can anyone provide some pros and cons of both, and which you find to be better? Thanks!

    Well I've tried both and I'm leaning towards ATI, but having said that I have just had to take my M6Ne back to the shop because of stablity issues when running games. I'm not sure if i did some damage along the way or if I just got a bad GPU, but I've tried every driver out there and nothing works.
    NB: it worked fine when I first got the machine, loaded up the omegas and they ran well, but started getting prob's about a month ago when I got Doom3. I thourght it was just a driver problem, but unforunately the problem spread to other games and got worse. When I get it back I'm not sure what I'll do, but I think i'll stick with the ASUS drivers from now on just to be safe.
