It doesn't just apply to Linux.  Many `brand name` PC vendors supply 
hardware that isn't great.  They spend their money on marketing and 
branding rather than on the hardware itself.  Providing the basic stats 
look good, and the cost of large corporate buyers is low, with the 
inkling you are getting something great ....

Buying standard parts from somewhere like CCL, Scan, Insight, Dabs is 
the way to go.  Most of these people will assemble as well.

Also, to be pedantic, your graphics problems aren't to do with linux. 
They are are do with the xserver support.

Most users just use the OS that comes bundled with there system, so the 
people doing the bundling can sort this out.
