The Matrox card you are looking at is good.(They have opensourced
drivers so you can expect to get 3d acceleration in linux soon) Not to
mention it has good performance. I'm wondering if they sell tnt2 cards
for the pci slot. If you can find one of these, it would be a very good
buy.(also have opensourced drivers I think)
