Opinions about:
Ati Radeon 64Mb Vivo
Geforce2 64Mb
NOTE: main use of the card is SDL development, games, multimedia, OpenGL
I would put much priority on image quality, in which Radeon beats GeForce
silly. Radeon doesn’t even come much behind in speed, sometimes is even
faster. As an added bonus, Radeon has VIVO. If you prefer your games to run
at 70 fps instead of 60, choose GeForce2. If quality is the question, choose
Radeon.

i don’t know for GeForce2, but, for Radeon, i am in big trouble
finding driver for linux/FreeBSD… (but no problem for Windows2000)

Right now the only 3d cards t hat get anything on fbsd are 3dfx cards
(using the linux compat layer and the linux libs), tnt, and g200/g400. There
is a project to write a fbsd stub for the nvidia ‘common’ driver going on
at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/fbsd-nvdriver/ which will hopefully
have something functional by the end of the month. I’ve no clue what the
status for radeon is, but fbsd isn’t high on IHV’s lists to port drivers to, ms
still has market control and linux is still on a publicity high
