At least that is an answer. I gotta buy cheap, until I am ready for a
new computer (6 months to a year). What kind of card can I get away
with, do you think?
I recently bought a GeForce 6200 for ~$30 from newegg--and i could have gone cheaper. \
This should be plenty for anything that you might want to do, supports XvMC for \
hardware accelerated mpeg2 playback, and of course, works well with the flashy \
effects. Mine is also passively cooled (quiet) and has VGA, DVI, S-vidio, Composite, \
and Component out ports. Not too bad.

The Geforce 6200 is a nice card. I tried one but it would not work with my
older motherboard very well (ABIT KT7A-RAID). I had too many system
lockups when running anything 3D. Also had troubles with an ATI 9250
card.
I have just replaced the 9250 with a Radeon 7000 card (AGP 4X 64MB)
and thus far it seems to work very well. Have not tried it with Fedora 5 or 6.
