If you have ATI, F8 is the only way to go.  F9 is not good for ATI
cards, the ati drivers won't support any x server greater than 1.4.2.
KDE4 really is a disaster so far, it looks like a dumbed down gnome.  F8
features the last mature version of kde, which is 3.5, and it's pretty
robust.

There's other things, but yeah, F8 is a sweet spot.
