Hi Nick,
While there is alot more to ask about what you need to do your requirements,
I run ATI XPERT 2000 32M AGP cards in the W98 & W2000 clients with no problems,
I run a Radeon 64M DDR AGP in my dual boot work station. It has a Nokia 445PRO
21" monitor attached which complements the card well. While I'n not a gamer,
I can push this card a lot higher than 1600x1200 -24bit. It's solid, and I have no issue
with it's performance. SaX2 finds it no problem. Etc.
I usually recommend ATI or Matox due to these having the least problems
and rock solid performance. Howbeit there needs to be comensurate monitor
and system to enjoy a nice card.

Hi, After having many troubles with my gforce 256 SDR the last couple of days (and may other time over its life), I decided 'to heck with it' and am looking at a new card. I like the performance of the gforce, but the drivers are always sketchy, right now I can only do 2D (using XFree's nv driver). I've heard that the ATI Radeon's are good, but looking at SuSE's hardware database I see 'Problematically' by the cards, what kind of luck have you guys had with these cards? Are there any other cards that are good for 2D and 3D? I need something that can push 1600x1200-24bit color @85Hz and play games like Quake III at decent frame-rates (I get around 70 with 800x600 High Quality in QIIIA now).
