Cool, this I will buy.
I can stand slow open source drivers much better than I can stand binary only drivers.
Because I can fix the first problem...

The open source drivers are not slow, the hardware is (with respect to 3D
performance).
At the moment you have to choose between fast hardware with binary-only
drivers and slow hardware with open source drivers. That's the dilemma.
I like to play fancy-looking games on my computer from time to time, so I
have no choice. If I had the choice between open- and closed-source
drivers, I'd use the one that works better. If I used an open-source
driver and found a bug, I'd try to fix it (with the help of kernel
developers). It's as simple as that.
