There seems to be good support for the Nvidia RivaTNT chipset,
and lots of cheap 16 meg cards based on them.  If I were to get a
new sound card soon, I'd probably get a soundblaster 64 PCI;
any PCI card based on the es1370 chipset. (I believe es1371 is also
supported.)

Nvidia cards are already supported.  The GL xlock savers look awesome.
