Depending on your application mix, an 8x card may not provide a noticable
performance boost.

As Felix noted, G450s, including dual heads, are available on eBay at
almost giveaway prices.

As I noted, SciTech has a compatibility list.  It is at:

 http://www.scitechsoft.com/chiplist/snap_os2_chiplist.html

This is probably the support list of the full product.  If you only have
SNAP/SE, some of the newer, high end cards on the list might not be fully
supported, but these are not what you are interested in.  It appears that
new chipsets/cards are appended to the listings, so you want to look at
the items near, but not at the end of the list.

In my case, I'm running Matrox on the older 2x boxes and ATI on the newer
boxes 4x-8x boxes.  The ATI was given to me so the choice was easy. :-)
