Right. Any GeForce card at all should have enough oomph for 3D desktop
support and that includes a ton of AGP cards. Heck, you can still buy
PCI cards that would support 3D desktop stuff just fine (the best PCI
card I've seen is a 256MB GeForce FX5500, that's more than enough
power).
The Linux 3D desktop stuff really doesn't need much in the way of
graphics card power. I'm using beryl on AIGLX right now on my laptop,
which has an integrated i945 graphics chipset using a small amount of
system RAM (somewhere between 8 and 32MB, nothing will tell me
accurately), at 1680x1050, and it runs beautifully. The Intel chipsets
are not powerful at all, they barely even register on the standard tests
for gaming graphics cards - but they handle compiz / beryl great.
