Bang/Buck under Linux is nVidia.  Especially the GeForce 6200
for $50 these days (just get a 256MB TC version which has
64MB of RAM).  Otherwise the 6600 and 6600GT (GDDR3) are
$100+ with 128-256MB.

nVidia's Standardware drivers are more stable than the ATI
Standardware drivers.  There are _no_ DRI/GLX drivers for
either.
