Some may disagree, but I think nvidia are the best video chipsets around.
You can pick up a card with a geforce 2mx gpu and 64mb ram for about $120.
Of course the geforce 3 rocks, but costs about $350.
Nvidia provides closed source drivers for linux. There OpenGL performance
is great.
Nvidia is dominating the high-end video market hands down.
I saw a 15" flat screen for $399 at Compusa....
