I don't wanna bitch, but I've seen 32MB cards that have trouble decoding DVD and you're only using a 4MB card...... Personally I'm a nVIdia guy, the GeForce2 64MB is very affordable at the moment and should be sufficient + that nvidia writes drivers for them (XFree86 linux only!!! no *BSD). I believe the 2 biggest groups used here are nvidia and ati. Know I don't have knowledge about ati cards but I'm sure somebody else here can advise you on those if you like
