I've had good luck with a Radeon 9200 - ATi cards are better at being
supported by Free Software.

I would recommend not getting a card with binary-only drivers; but you
may find the free software drivers aren't as good / don't work with the
really fast 3D cards.

Basically, I just play bzflag (used to play Quake a bit before upgrading
to 2.6; now sound is a bit dodgy :(, so I'm not like some hardcore
gamer.

Cheers,

Alex.
