You don't want to get a PCI-based video card if you can avoid it.  If you've 
got a PCIe motherboard now, it makes sense to get a PCIe video card, otherwise 
get an AGP-based card now, and revisit PCIe decision a year or two later when 
you want to replace your MB, CPU, and so forth with a completely new system.

nVidia seems to have significantly better support for open source drivers at 
the present time than ATI does, so you're probably looking at a 6600 or 6800GT 
or GS for AGP, or the 7x00 for PCIe.
