I have heard that all of them are "good". I use the ATI 3D Pro Turbo
PC2TV with 8Megs RAM. I like it so much that I am getting another one
for my second system. It works fine with only 4Megs unless you have
requirements for a very large monitor and high resolution and color
depth. You will need Xfree86-3.3.1 Mach64 drivers. The PC2TV, is based
on the RAGEII chipset. You should check ATIs homepage for teh others.

The PC2TV works fine with these games under DOS, W3.1, W95, and Linux.
