Suggestions for Graphics Cards

Hi all,

During LCA the Nvidia PCI-e card in my
desktop(/TV/stereo/virtualisation host/etc.) died [cue violins].

I said I'd never buy Nvidia again because, with Intel's open graphics
drivers, we've got a choice. My problem is, it doesn't appear that I
can get a PCI-e (or even PCI) Intel-based graphics card - they all
seem to be integrated on the motherboard.

What are my options? I don't do any gaming, the only 3D requirement is
desktop effects.

I'd like to get Intel because on my notebook it Just Works but it's
not essential if there are other Open[-ish] options out there.
Obviously replacing the motherboard will be on the more "fun" side of
the options.

Cheers,

Henare

Ps. the host is up-and-running thanks to a ~10 year old SIS PCI
graphics card I scavenged from an ancient box lying around. After a
quick X reconfig on boot it Just Works (albeit in 1024x768), damn I
heart Linux.
