I had to do the same thing recently. I wanted dual head (2x 1440x800),
3D accelerated, PCI Express, AMD64 capable graphics.

Finally settled on a Radeon x1950, specifically the Powercolor
x1950. The prices vary wildly, I got mine off ebay for about
$80 but I've seen people attempt to charge ~$200. Don't let
someone rip you off...

So far, the card's been absolutely stable. I have a dual-head
setup with two identical monitors and the card gives excellent
performance for OpenGL work. Running FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-amd64.
