Video Card for old Slot 1 motherboard

[JetBlack69]

My old GeForce 2 Ultra is giving me some problems in my linux box. There are lines coming across the screen where there is text or bright objects. When I take a screenshot and view it on my Windows box, the screenshot doesn't show the same problem. It's not the monitor or the cable because they work fine on another computer, so I think it's the video card.

What video card should I buy to replace it? It should have/do the following:

1. Work on an AGP 2x (3.3V) agp slot or PCI slot (are there any different "versions" of PCI?)
2. Work well in Linux, so Nvidia only.
3. Cheap, no more than $100. (Hopefully around $60)
4. Don't need to run games well, but should run opengl programs fine like Tux Racer.
5. DVI is a plus, but I'm currently running my computers through a VGA KVM switch.
6. Being fanless is also a plus.

Any suggestions? I'm looking at this one:

My first thought was to recommend a GF4MX of some sort. That $42 eVGA looks good. It should be faster than the Prolink due to its faster memory (every MHz counts with a 64-bit bus). You're giving up DVI, but are you sure you'll use it? Otherwise, you're paying more for a slower card.

I'm not sure I'd pay double for a 64-bit 5700LE with a probably noisy fan.

Does Tux Racer require a DX8 card, though? Yes, I know it's OGL, but I'm using DX as an easy way to refer to featureset. I forget if TR requires shaders (DX8) or simply TnL (DX7).

Hey! That's a 128bit 5700LE with a probably noisy fan. 😀

I second the GF4MX series. GFFX (5xxx) series are probably not going to have as mature of a driver/Xserver as the GF4MX and it is going to be fan, so more noise plus your CPU maybe more likely bottleneck the card.

Ah, for got to mention that I'm running a 1.3Ghz Celeron Tualatin core. Also, the Prolink supports Dx8 and I might run Return to Castle Wolfenstein or Quake 3. I assume Dx8 doesn't help them since they are opengl games, right?

Thanks
