wine users - Aug 2008 - OT: Need PCI only Video Card recommendation for use with WINE

The MB I've been using has a built in crippled ATI chip, since the 
manufacturer didn't see any need to support OpenGL.  Yup, thats right, 
NO OpenGL support at all.  Which means other than basic menus wine is 
pretty well stuck not working.

The MB came with 2 PCIe X4  slots, 2 PCIe X8 slots, and 2 PCI-X/133 
slots.  You will note, there are NO PCIe X16 video slots.  I've tried a 
couple of PCIe X16 video cards in the X8 slots and fried the cards.  Do 
not try that if you have a similar situation. The cards whine and then 
let the magic smoke out of the chips.  :-))

I've been told that PCI-X/133 slots are backwards plug in compatible 
with vanilla PCI.  So I'm willing to try an inexpensive PCI video card, 
as long as it supports OpenGL.  I'm wondering if anyone would care to 
make a recommendation (other than buy a new MB ... I'm not quite there 
yet)  about a good inexpensive PCI video card.
