Hi Gerard! I recommend you to buy a video card with a nVidia chipset. Why? I mailed the ATI support in this summer regarding their linux drivers, read the answer below. For me this was very disappointing. Now there are drivers for radeon based video cards, but I think nVidias driver perform much better under linux. >Regarding "Linux, _RADEON_9500_PRO, _AGP, _Installation. >> In this chart (http://www.ati.com/developer/altoschart.pdf) it is said, >> that ATI itself provide 3D support for my Radeon card (3D support >> starting from ... are provided by ATI).
