Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good video card for xorg+FreeBsd i386.
I won't be playing any games on this computer.
Should do well at 24bit color depth and 1600x1280 resolution.
preferably $100-$200 range.
I've had good luck with 2 of these and 4 monitors at $work

Don't get ATI. They're impossible to setup in FreeBSD with OpenGL
support (and are even a pain in the a$% to setup in Linux with the
proprietary drivers..). Anything nVidia, Geforce 6200 and higher will
work. Here's my 6200 that I have in my old desktop:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121542, and I
can verify that this card works like a charm for many uses.
If you want dual-DVI though, you're probably better with the upper level
6000 series GT cards (if you're budget's on the cheap), because they
have wonderful DVI and rendering capability, and are expandable for many
uses, except playing high end games (a few years back) like Half-Life 2
and Oblivion.
