  I've been pretty happy with my old Matrox G400. No
fan so it's silent,
 and it's plenty fast for everything except openGL games. It's
 tolerable for quake3 but not really competitive. 
I like the G400, too.  It runs dual-head using xinerama, which is
great for laying out lots of screen space with ardour, jamin,
envy24control, qjackctl, etc.
And best of all, I got it for free when my son upgraded his video game
machine last year.  :-)
