I don't need 2d & 3d acceleration. I just need a card that will handle WindowMaker on a 24 inch Dell monitor at 1920x1200 and as long as the flesh
tones on my JPGs don't suck I'm happy.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm going to make a trip to Fry's Friday.

I've experienced no-acceleration radeon driver "desktop" under Ubuntu
and FreeBSD; let me please point out how sluggish and horribly slow it
Is.

Well, the stock Ubuntu desktop is Gnome, which I find sluggish and horribly slow on amd64 hardware even with Nvidias 2d & 3d acceleration at any size above 1024x768 - at least in it's default config.

If all depends on your window manager, config and expectations.
