 You'd have to check the device support for linux, and then what
 devices the nv package supports.   I'd check a build of nv for
 linux, should be there in the documentation.

 I know the Matrox Meteor PCI card is pretty good, but don't know
 if its got linux support.

 One thing you should be aware of is the requirement for a multicast
 feed, either by being on a network that's linked to the MBONE, or
 by getting someone to feed you with a tunnel.

 The bandwidth you are talking for MBONE is really _quite_ high.
