You got 2 choices to make which card and which drivers. Some cards
like the Voodoo3 ($55 up) have open source drivers and are very Linux
compatible, fully supported. Then there's the Nvidia cards (GeForce, $80
up) that are newer better hardware, but you'll need to get their closed
source, binary only drivers from the manufacturer as distros like Mandrake
will never furnish/support closed source hardware. It'd be a good idea to
research the driver issuses before you buy anything.
