I have an ATI X300 card, but 3D acceleration is not supported on it in the current Xorg. The only slots on my Mobo are PCI and PCI-EX. I use the i386 release of FreeBSD currently, but would like to have the option to move to the amd64 release. Any suggestions on a low-end (read cheap) card? I know "nvidia" is often recommended, but any particular model? Thanks, Micah
