Video Card for Slack

Hey guys,
Yeah, I am the one building a little slackware box and I need to get a video card to complete my puter.

I do not want to run any GUIs, so I was wondering what video card I would need?

I am looking at the folowing cards, which will work best? Which can I get away with?

ATI 3D CHARGER RAGE IIC PCI 4MB
Matrox Millennium MGA 4MB PCI Video Card
Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro 8MB PCI
nVidia 16MB TNT2 PCI

If I were ever to run a scaled down verson of X, could I use a 4mb card? Will they all work?

They will all work in text mode, and as for the GUI, should you want it:
ATI 3D CHARGER RAGE IIC PCI 4MB
Matrox Millennium MGA 4MB PCI Video Card
Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro 8MB PCI (can't find X status for card)
nVidia 16MB TNT2 PCI

Thanks!

I think I will be going with the Matrox.
