So I see that compgeeks.com has Oxygen GMX2000 vid boards for $180. I hear
these are supported under X, and that Alan Cox even has one. Looks to be a
pretty nice piece of gear, with 96MB of RAM and a permedia graphics chip. I
don't know much of anything else about them tho; other than that they're
fairly high-end boards for professional workstations.

32MB dual-head radeon VE's are also available there; for substantially less
money. 

dual-head vs. single-head aside; is the GMX2000 really a better board than
the Radeon VE? the price difference (especially the price difference when
they were new from the manufacturer) would lead you to believe so; but how
much would it actually be noticeable when playing games under linux/X?

mostly I just think it would be really cool to have a full-length
big-professional-name graphics card in my system. I just have to contemplate
whether the additional credit-card debt is worth it. :)
