Well, one thing I notice is that attempting to open the linked .png in Photoshop, it has an embedded "SyncMaster" profile. Opening it in Photoshop CS4, maintaining that profile, I see banding (although very subtle in the second (bottom) example). The top example exhibits a stippled effect at the band edges. Opening it and converting it to Adobe RGB 1998, I see almost no sign of banding in that example. Opening it as is in Preview, I see the banding again. Creating a new radial gradient in Photoshop CS4, 1300 pixels wide, #666666 to #000000, at 100% scale, it is a smooth transition with a bare hint of banding. Also, my #666666 is noticeably lighter than in your example. Offhand, I'm not sure which factors affect your workflow. But I doubt it is your video card unless it is set for, say 16 bit or 8 bit...
