The Radeon works on amd64 because the driver is open source and a couple of us were able to dive into the code and fix it (it had a small 32-bit-ness issue). If your binary-only Nvidia driver breaks you have to wait for nvidia to release a fix. Encouraging binary drivers is like building a skyscraper on quicksand. IMHO it's better to do business with people who are willing to release documentation.
