I don't have any problem with binary-only software but I dislike secret
protocols, file formats and hardware specs.  As such I'd rather stick
to Radeon 7500.  I also don't have need of high end performance yet so
I could live with slightly immature drivers.  In fact given the
performance on my current system the jump in processor speed my be
sufficient.
