I'd suggest a basic S3 card until MetroLink or X inside release a 
X server for Alpha Linux. The S3 is the only thing that's well supported
(though Mach32 may be coing soon), and the really high performance S3
cards such as the Matrox Millenium and #9 Imaging aren't supported due
to NDA's :-(

I don't think you'll do much better then a 4MB #9 S3 card personally.
