ATI's GL3.2 status and GL 2.1 status?

I am building a new PC, and would like to get the new G300 Nvidia card but as we all know its not out yet. So for a cheap filler card I was looking at a Radeon 4650? I was wondering for all the ATI owners what GL support is like with the latest 9.8 drivers? Thanks

Latest official drivers, WinXP, HD2600XT:

GL3.1: 100% (8/8 funcs)
GL3.2: 33% (3/9 funcs) does not support GLSL1.5 and most stuff yet

So for a cheap filler card I was looking at a Radeon 4650? I was wondering for all the ATI owners what GL support is like with the latest 9.8 drivers?

All recent tests I did with a 4890 were successful and didn't show any noteworthy problems. Their OGL drivers appear quite solid nowadays.

Times have changed, apparently :)

the next generation ATI should be out within a month
