$44.99 at Intrex: http://intrex.com/parts/VidVideoCard.asp Note that the nVidia cards require binary drivers to get 3D support. The drivers are quite easy to install -- nVidia provides great instructions -- but if you like everything to be open source you should stay away from this. Also, if you're running special kernels (2.5 series, or things like Red Hat's Phoebe beta kernels), you might have trouble getting the driver glue code to compile. For released kernels (either distribution-specific or vanilla), you should have no problems. --Jeremy
