Depends what you mean by 'Good'. If you buy Nvidia, you can buy as good as 
your budget will go. I have a GeForce 5950 Ultra on my 64-bit box - the 
machine that I'm typing this email on - that I'm delighted with. It was about 
cutting edge, when I bought it, earlier this year, but it's been superceded, 
now.

I also have one of their little 64-bit GeForce Vertoo PCI jobbies, in my basic 
32-bit CD burner box, and that holds up fine for most work, as well. 
Essentially, any AGP is as good as it's supporting software, however, so I'd 
definitely advise you to buy Nvidia until ATI sort their act out.

Take it easy,
Dan
BTW, this machine has been running 9.2 since I installed it, about two hours 
ago. Very nice install procedure.
