A: ATI and Geforce are just 2 major brands of chips and card designer. So basically when they produce new chips, brands like EVGA, PNY, ASUS will take over to construct the card and modify it (with little differences from one another); the well-known the brand (EVGA, ASUS, XFX etc.) the more expensive the card. It really depends on your preference and your experience on using both cards, some people like Geforce because they think it's more powerful or ATI since it costs much less. Geforce is currently dominating the market with their new graphic card series coming out (currently at 9000 series). Right now all new motherboards comes with PCI-E and all new graphic cards (both ATI and Geforce) supports it. SO when you buy graphic card make sure that it supports PCI-E and that your computer has PCI-E. Warning: Do watch out for your desktop case, the powerful graphic cards comes with large space consumption, and sometimes might not fit into small desktop case.
