Radeon HD 3000 series (R600 series) is well supported by the open source
"radeon" driver.

I tried the Radeon driver for a few months and kept getting freezes and
crashes. I tested everything and finally moved to nvidia and never had
a crash since.
Not blaming the Radeon driver but the integration into the motherboard
and requirement for working 3D.
Does the Radeon driver support using the GPU for other purposes than
just graphics? Like the nvidia cuda drivers?
