I'm feel I am going to get serious enough with FreeBSD that I'm considering the purchase of a GHz class Duron and mobo. (The P200 will be the firewall someday...) But what video card should I choose? The list of cards provided at the XFree86 site doesn't have many that are too up to date (or even still available new). Is AGP supported? The themes at http://themes.freshmeat.net/ all look fantastic, and I want my new box to play in that realm. What are these guys using? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
