Linus says: The good news is that a lot of hw manufacturers are actually doing the right thing. Intel in particular has improved wrt open source a lot, and for that reason I tend to suggest that when buying a machine, just make sure that you buy one with Intel graphics and wireless. That takes care of the two biggest annoyances right there.

I'm looking to get a new graphics card to support my new 24" LCD monitor. I don't want to spend alot of money and I'm not looking for fancy latest and greatest whiz-bangs. What cards have you seen out there/used that are reasonably low-priced, support 1920x1200 resolution, and can do the 3D stuff?
I'm leaning towards nvidia as the brand name, but now I'm interested in which models are best.
I also have a 24" LCD at 1920x1200. I'm running with an nvidia 7200 gs, but only because a friend gave it to me because he decided not to build a new computer. I'm looking for a better one now, but the 7200 is dirt cheap, runs my LCD just find and the drivers in 10.2 and 10.3 are just fine. For 3D, I can play Day of Defeat source at native resolution, but that may be partially due to the fact that the rest of my computer outperforms the card.
