OK...

What cards have you considered and what is your budget? What interface type is your system?

I'm running Dell OptiplexGX260, x11, FC8, and found a Dell Forum that mentioned Radeon9250, so that card has come up twice, now. The fact that it is used on Dell OptiplexGX260, is a good thing. The price is $62.48 including shipping. Does that sound reasonable to you?

Very. I avoid the nVidia stuff because the drivers in the kernel are not full featured and the ones with features are not open source. I've been happy with ATI, although I try to buy system boards with built in video when I can, I don't game, the drivers are fast enough for watching movies or TV, and I can add a better board after the system is otherwise up.
