Cheap Graphics Card?

Anyone know of a cheap, PCI graphics card that's Linux-compatible? I have a 3D Prophet 4000XT but it doesn't work with linux....

i'd recommend something from nvidia. you can probably find a good card for about $50, and they have great linux support.

Last time I checked (2 months ago) a Nvidia GForce MX2 with 32 MB RAM was $109.00 US retail, and I'm sure that's gone down. I got mine as a 40 dollar upgrade on a system price.

You can get GeForce MX cards for under $50 at www.mwave.com. They are great for linux as nVidia has pretty good support for us.
