ATI makes some good ones, but it seems that their Linux 3D support always 
comes late.  The Radeon 9600 is their most advanced with 3D linux support at 
this point, though I'd say it's a better card for an occasional gamer than 
the 9700 or the 9800 anyway.

NVidia does have the advantage of binary drivers for all of their cards, and 
they're also really good for gaming.  Maybe the GeforceFX 5200 would be a 
good one (and if you're not wanting to spend so much money, last year's 
Geforce4 Ti4600 might be a good choice).

This cultural mystique surrounding the biological function -- you
realize humans are overly preoccupied with the subject.
