Cheap Linux compatible video cards

[Bob Elzer]

Even worse, the HD4650 is 9 tiers above your X300,  $55 with a $20 Mail in
Rebate ($35) and double the memory 1GB

That's something we didn't touch on before, the nvidia are almost always
more expensive for the comparable ati cards
 
Sorry to break the bad news :(

I wish I had known about this list last night! I went with Newegg
<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127412> MSI 9400
GT 512MB. it is only about 5 tiers up form my old Radeon X300, but it was
$54 (and I believe a $10 mail in rebate) and it has an HDMI port for when I
retire this box to the living room and use it to browse the internet on the
big screen. But it looks like one of the 9500 GTs would not have cost much
more but still would have been 4 more tiers up in the list. Oh well. At
least when I have to run windows on it windoze won't suffer quite as much.

Mike, whichever you decide to get, here is a chart that compares all the
Nvidia and ATI cards.
 
Find a model that you're interested in, and look it up on the chart, it will
show the comparable card in the opposite column.
 
It also shows you how many jumps up your new card would be from the old one.
