This morning, I connected an Acer X193W (19" LCD) to my old Asus V9520 
Magic (AGP GeForce FX 5200) card.
The resolution is 1440 x 900 in Windows XP and Debian Etch (nv driver). 
I updated the Windows XP driver. No complaints so far.

Unless you have some special requirements, most cards should do.
There are a couple of Asus AGP cards at the Filtech website, 
http://www.filtechcomputer.com/#AGP%20Cards at about $40/$50.
