Video cards. (decisions, decisions :)



I just got done purchasing a new PC (complete system),
and it's doubtful the video card that came in it is
supported by Linux (XFree86).   But that's okay, since
I knew about that "problem" going into this purchase.

I know an NT person who's willing to trade my [non-supported] 
video card with a card that is supported by Linux/XFree86.

I have my choice of a 8MB Matrox Millennium-II, or a
8MB STB Permedia-2 card.  Both cards seem to run fine 
under XF86.  So, the obvious question:  Which is better???
(keeping in mind my PC will run Linux/XF86 99% of the time)

Also, does anybody know if either of these chipsets support
whatever Quake-3 requires?  I don't do games often, but I 
like to play Quake-2 occasionally.  Thanks!!!
