1. The Gigabyte machine is a low-to-medium powered machine that is not likely to do a lot of heavy lifting, ie, games that require complex or demanding graphics (think: primarily intended for a lot of the 2/2.5D indie games that have compromised the bulk of Linux releases over the past year). AMD cards offer much more powerful hardware, and are much pricier, so you're going to want to get as much performance out of them as possible, for the fanciest games on the market, which the Mesa drivers do not offer yet.
2. You're right that most games don't require OGL4, but many AAA games *do* require at least OGL3.3 -- which the Intel drivers offer, but the AMD radeon Gallium drivers do not.
