I'm not sure where the 9685 sits in the performance spectrum.

The easy recommendations are Matrox or Elsa. However, Matrox G200 PCI's
can be hard to come by. Some folks have had success with some ATI's.

You might look for an S3/Virge based card. With the S3 drivers, they are
stable and fast for the price.

HTH,
