I've had really good luck with my new AGP4x nvidia card.  Of course, the
primary feature I was looking for was dual-monitor capability with
support for linux.  nvidia has a unified commercial driver available for
linux which supports all their newer cards.  It was super-easy to set up
and install.  The only thing I'm not sure about is the video4linux
support.
