    These aren't too shabby, but then again compared to my NVidia (non-rt
    obviously) with their binary driver):

    0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce
    6800 GT] (rev a1)

    $ glxgears
    49961 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9992.200 FPS
    48599 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9719.800 FPS
    55592 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11118.400 FPS
    47395 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9479.000 FPS

    What do you get with the ATI binary driver?

    Sorry, I can't help you there. I don't have access to IE or Quicken
    (well, it's on my wife's computer, but she won't let me put Linux on
    it! :-(
