Could somebody advise me a good 32 MB or 64 MB AGP graphic card that will work well with all Linux graphic intensive applications. Does somebody know if new Matrox G400 32 MB AGP card will work with Linux?

Works very well indeed. If you use Linux only, you could buy the single headed version, as XFree86 3.3.6 doesn't support the dual head feature and as it looks, 4.0 won't either, because the second head rather limited and thus the developer decided it wasn't worth the trouble.
