Can anyone suggest a good video card for combo use with Windows and Linux?

Also, do you have any opinions on monitors?  It seems to me tyhat Trinitron
is still the best (crisp, bright, clear), but my experience is VERY limited.
I only see what comes through our office.

I am getting ready to do some small upgrades, and these will be the two main
things I change.

Best regards,
-Matthew Brown
