I have an nVidia GeForce 2 MX in my desktop which I've been using for a while, and I'm really happy with it...I think personally that nVidia has done a pretty good job with their drivers, even though they're not OSS (and they should be).
The only major issue I've had has been some memory leakage in kernel space
requiring a reboot every few days, but it looks like this issue has been
largely cleaned up. Just make sure you use agpgart (which is an option in the
kernel), and not nVidia's AGP interface.
