As far as I can remember I always saw more driver issues with Nvidia than I did with ATI. A simple google search brings up quite a few from the past including "30% of windows vista crashed due to nvidia drivers" and "nvidia drivers causing overheating and card failures". Not to say ATI doesn't have their own issues too, but throwing ATI under the bus as the only company to have driver issues with windows is wrong. However, when I fooled around with Ubuntu about 3 1/2 years ago some ATI cards had issues with Linux drivers, where as Nvidia cards, for the most part, did not. I would surely hope by now that it has been fixed, but if you may want to use Linux, that's something to consider.
Anyway, you forgot to include what stickers you put on your computer case. I'm not sure you computer description had enough detail in it to fully help with a video card decision.
