What pci video cards support 3d for linux? I'd like something with opengl support!!!!!
Then you are currently pretty limited. Hardware-accelerated 3D is still under heavy development. Voodoo-based Cards are the only real option.
If you want a fast 3D card for MS Windows and a reasonable card for XFree, I would recommend one with the nVidia Riva TNT like the Diamond Viper 550 or the Elsa Erazor II.
I just upgraded my video card to a Diamond Viper 550 16 meg PCI card, and it fast as hell. I could not believe how much faster X is with this card. I would recommend it to anyone who can't go AGP at this time. I am not upgrading my X86 box, because I am buying an Ultra10 for a workstation and using my X86 Linux box as a server on my soon to be installed DSL line :) As it stands this is my machine and I am quite happy with it.
