Agreed, voodoo3 cards work great, out of the box - and you can still 
find them for sale, cheap.

Intel onboard (i8xx) video chipsets generally work fine too, but I have 
not had any luck with any ATI chipsets - I have gotten lockups every 
time I tried an ATI card - and the last time was a few months ago on 
FC1. If I had the time I'd go through the code and look for locking 
problems or whatever, but it's just easier to buy a different video card.
