motherboard compatibility

Allright, I'm trying to install redhat 9, but it seems that a hardware component is incompatible. I had an Inetgrated ProsavageDRR KM266 with 32 megs of shared video memory. (I know, it stinks) That seems to be incompatible with redhat.

That seems to be incompatible with redhat. What will I have to do?
New video card? or a new motherboard? Any suggestion for a good alternative to what I have now that's compatible?
 
Thanks in advance.

If I may make a suggestion, choose Nvidia. They seem to be more Linux friendly than ATI, although I've not had much trouble with the two ATI cards I have used.

Could you give me a specific model of video card that's not expensive but it's over 32mb?
