Video Card Reccomendations?

[Christopher Wagner]

I've heard many good things about the Nvidia cards under Linux, and Dustin's
suggestion is a good one.

Also, I'm running a Linux box at home with an ATI Radeon 128 card in it.  It
seems to perform quite well.  DVD playback looks nice, the OpenGL screen
savers are pretty, and the card I've got even has a digital out. :)

Subject: Video Card Reccomendations?



 I am upgrading my computer and planning on a new video card. My old 2M
video
 card won't handle the colors and monitor resolutions I would like. As far
as
I  can tell just about anything with Nvidia chip sets will work. I am not
really  a gamer so I don't need a high end card and I am hoping to keep the
cost low.  Any suggestions for a video card that I could pick up at a local
store like CompUSA or Best Buy? Any Pro's Con's of using AGP?

 Thanks,
 Adam
