In response to Ben's question... NVidia's drivers have worked equally awsome with my old TNT2 and new GeForce 4 TI4400 under linux. The harware accelleration is at least as good as in Windoze, and I am almost sure you can do dual head on the upper-end nvidia cards using a DVI-VGA converter. You might check with NVidia's site to make sure... All this is to say is that I have been super impressed with NVidia's support of linux, and now I hear it works on FreeBSD too, if you care about that kind of thing. I recently bought an ATI Radeon 8500LE 64MB for my brothers' computer, and I have yet to get ATI's drivers to work, but I haven't tried much. I will let the list know how it goes if anyone is interested. I hope this helps. FYI: The reason I bought the Radeon is it was less than $80! Wereas the Geforce 4 TI series is $200+ for the ones with DVI support (usually 4400 and 4600).
