I think you'll be happy with that decision. From what I've read, the 
current OS drivers are pretty good.  You'll even get good enough 3D to 
run compiz or Beryl.  The next-gen OS driver (radeonhd) seems to be 
progressing nicely as well.

Here's a page that might helpful to you even if you don't run Ubuntu:
