Very Computer

I'm deseperatly trying to have my smp linux workstation to work with a
NVidia
Geforce DDR.
Due to bug with smp and nvidia drivers, the station crashes very often
when using
OpenGL.
I plan to change the graphic card for a smp-compatible one with good 3D
acceleration.
Which graphics card is the best for a smp configuration ?

My configuration is :
Asus motherBoard P2B-D 440BX Dual processor
1GO PC133 SDRAM
Adaptec AIC-7892 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter
two IBM DNES-309170W 9Gb hard drives
Nvidia GeForce DDR 32Mo
Redhat Linux 6.2
Redhat Linux 7.0

on both version of Redhat Linux, the problem is the same : reboot with
some OpenGL apps.
It works fine with QuakeIII (but useless).
It works fine with performer.
It reboots on some test in SpecViewPerf
It reboots on some local-developped OpenGL apps.

thanks for your help/recommandation

For professional level stuff and applications that you need working now,
I would look at the commercial X drivers from, e.g., Xi Graphics.  They
have a list of supported cards and driver prices at:

Disclaimer: I've never used their stuff, so I can't speak to compatibility,
ease of installation, etc.  But they do have downloadable demos.

In terms of cards, I've heard the 3DLabs Oxygen series boards are nice...
