ethernet and video cards for new PC

[Carney Mimms <carneym rebus com>]

This is, of course, only a potential install question, but this still 
feels like the appropriate forum.

I'm already running RH5.1 successfully on an older Dell PC and am about 
to buy a new Quantex 350 mhz PII PC. The Quantex includes an Intel 
EtherExpress 10/100 card, which I believe is listed as Tier 1 supported. 
Is this a good choice for a NIC?

The more difficult issue is the video card and X support. The choices 
offered are:

Intel740-AGP chipset
128-bit RIVA 3D
Matrox G100 AGP
64-bit generic PCI 3D

Assuming I can't get any more specific info out of Quantex, which of 
these looks most likely to work? I can't find any of the newer AGP video 
cards on the XFree86 supported list, so I assume they are all 
problematical, except possibly the generic card, whatever it turns out to 
be?

Anyway, if anyone has advice about buying new PC's generally to dual-boot 
Linux and Win95, I'd be pleased to hear it. I'll consider other vendor 
recommendations as well.

Thanks to all,
