You probably will be soon unless OpenTheBlob.com has any success. I
bought an ATI card for my new machine back in February for precisely
this reason, though I have had to wait a bit longer than I expected.
The R500 support has had priority over the R600 support so far but AMD
has just released the R600 3D specs. Yay! I hopefully won't have to
wait too much longer.
