i'm not aware of any of those cards not working with redhat 7.2, but some
of them i haven't heard success stories for either.  i have no idea what
is and isn't supported in any mandrake version.

personally, i like using matrox cards for linux workstations.  i use a
g450 (i don't take advantage of its dual-head features, tho) at home now
and it's wonderful.  i've used g400s and g200s and others in the past with
similar success.  i don't think i've tried any of the others you listed
specifically first-hand with linux.  i have used other tnt and tnt2 (and
geforce2 and etc on nvidia's chips) with linux and they've all been fine.

if mandrake specifically says something is _incompatible_, it could be
wise to stay away from it whether you're using mandrake or redhat.

all of those prices seem fair to me as long as they're in proper working
condition.

good luck.
