How much you intend on spending? Do you dual-boot? Do you game?
Any reasonably modern card will produce a decent clear result. If not, you
take it back! Performance and cost provide bigger issues.
I wouldn't reccomend a SiS card, cos support's scattershot. If you must buy
a $19.95 card, TNT2-M64 may be your best option. Radeon 7000s seem to have
poor compatibility
For a dual-booter, I reccomend nVidia cards, cos they have much nicer Windows
drivers than ATi offers. However, nVidia doesn't offer anything
performance-competitive until the 5700 series cards-- in the $50-100 range, a Radeon 9200
or 9600 will do better.
I personally use a nVidia 5600XT (downclocked 5600), cos at the time, it was
the best $95 card you could get.
Or I could dig out a 16Mb Matrox G400 and sell it to you. :)
