Hardware compatibility question

[Bernie Lofaso]

I'm in the process of building a new system and I want to make sure that I can run Redhat Linux 6.1 on that system. My problem is in selecting a graphics card. One potential candidate is the 3dfx Voodoo3 3000. On examining the XFree site they list the Voodoo3 chipset as being supported, but under the vendor/card section they don't list 3dfx or any other cards that I recognize as being Voodoo3. I think I've seen a link (from the 3dfx site) to a beta version of a Linux driver. Can anyone suggest good and bad experiences with this card? I don't care about the 3D support (for Linux) but must have good 2D support.   Thanks.   Bernie Lofaso
