This became more complex recently when a lot of new stuff appeared in
XFree86, but without that much of kicking ***es, Matrox Millennium G200
AGP and SB AWE64 ("Gold" or "Value") is a cheap and decently supported
combination.
3D features of G200 are currently unsupported, but 1. you probably don't
need them anyway, 2. it's expected that this will be one of the first
3D-accelerated cards, natively supported with GLX in XFree86.
