Parent article: R500 initial driver release

Like many others, I won't buy ATI anymore, I'm just awaiting for Intel to
release a "gamer" card to update my aging desktop computer.
I just hope they won't be too long for that. Oh, and if in the meantime AMD
sees the light and releases specs/driver, the more the better.

Are you aware of any open driver intel 3d benchmarks?
And where can I buy extension cards with those new intel chips?

there are no extension cards with intel chips yet. And there have been some 3d benchmarks, intel does bad because they compared heavy nvidia and ati with closed drivers vs light intel hardware and open drivers. If you compare open drivers vs open drivers, intel is always on top in the 3d area as the competition simply lacks proper 3d acceleration.

I mean that's the fastest open driver powered 3d card.
And stuff that isn't properly hw accelerated falls back to software (Mesa) which covers most of opengl.

and are any planned? I'd like to wait forever for ATI to open up but no actual Intel based cards isn't much of an option either.
