Are the Geforce FX 5200 and 5500 really the fastest cards which fit these criteria? Any other suggestions? What about ATI cards? There are even some Geforce4 MX with DVI connector, would those work?

well, radeon 9600 series (all) run very well on Amithlon, in full 2D hardware acceleration (only 128 MB card).
9600 serie with 256 MB, only in VESA, maybe in the next kernel will be fixed... :roll:

Geforce 3 ti 200 (and i think all geforce 3 series) run very well in hardware acceleration, like Geforce 2 MX and geforce 4 MX440 (i don't sure, i have tried this board some years ago with older kernel).

now i'm using amithlon with x800xl agp 8x.

it is very fast on RTG games but very slow in gfx refresh, as x800xl is VESA for current 3.10 kernel.

But i think Bombcrater should fix a problem with 256 MB ati cards.
