[plug] graphics cards and linux

[WolfBite]

Nvidia the way to go for linux
 
Ive had running
riva
gforce2
gforce4 4200 4600 (ran AA with the 4600)
currently 6800gt
 
some go on that the ati is the fastest and best (in windows)
nvidia is the fastest and best in BOTH (I still dual boot)
and the easiest to setup in linux
 
even ran BF2 with the 4600 ok :)

I've been playing America's army quite a bit lately and ive noticed that 
it performs much better under windows than under linux.........i was 
wondering if its that my graphics card isnt supported very well under 
linux......the card is a Radeon 9200SE.......ive heard that radeon cards 
dont perform aswell as nvidia cards in linux, is this true?.....

Im thinking about buying a new graphics card soon anyway.......can anyone 
reccommend an ok linux-friendly graphics card? i would like to spend less 
than $200 on it.....was hopeing to spend around $150...

At PLE, i saw the following card
VC NVIDIA GEFORCE 6600LE PCIe/256MB/TV/DVI # $139
Would that be well supported in linux?
