You don't mention what type of card you're looking for, 2d, 2d/3d, 3d.
In the 2d area, I like the Millenium (I or II). It's a bit old, but
it's still a very good card for alpha-linux. My 8MB Mill-I runs my 21"
monitor at 1600x1200 (rock solid) with 65K colours (I haven't been
able to coax the SVGA Server (on alpha) to do 24 bit properly).

Sorry, but I can't help you out in the 2d/3d area.

Carpe viam,
Mike
