What graphics card can i get which will be suitable for both OS X and MorphOS?

8500 or 9000 are the best (fastest) ones with 3D support in MorphOS.

These typically come with 64MB video memory, however, but for most things that should be enough. 92xx aren't as fast as 8500 or 9000 but typically have more video memory.

7000 series cards are slow and I wouldn't recommend them (unless if you can get 7500 for small money)

Looks like the ATI Radeon 7500 is the card you want according to Other World Computing (macsales.com).  They're asking $59 for a new one.  I've used OWC for most of my Mac needs and have always had a good experience.

You can see the card at:

That card has 32MB video memory, and thus it wouldn't be much of a upgrade.
