Ok, so I'm getting really close to finishing my PC and installing FC3 on. I need a video card (They are expensive so I need some help).

I was going to get:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-286&depa=1

But one of the reviews mentions Linux and how this card isn't supported and IF you get it working, it's terrible. He said for a Linux box stay away from ATI

...SO I look elsewhere and find

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-150-068&depa=1

Can anyone confirm the compatibility of the cards? Any suggestions? I need help as a video card is somewhat important and expensive...I don't want to make a bad decision.
