As the title says, what's the best AGP card to put in a VA-503+?

I currently have a 4MB Matrox Millenium II PCI card in my Linux machine,
and would like to free up the PCI slot for a PCI based soundcard
(currently using a SB16 ISA).

I don't need a huge amount of video ram, but VESA support would be nice
(for the boot up screen).

Any suggestions?

Thanks...Brad

dunno about VESA suppport but one of the better GF2 GTS 32MB cards is about
the limit of benefit, anything newer is overkill (IMHO) -available from
about USD/EUR 10 upwards!
