Actually, I've just bought a Radeon 9000/64M with tv-out, and it seems that 
the new drivers for X 4.3.0 _do_ support TV-out(although I haven't really 
tried it yet, only with vesa) - fglrxconfig presents some tv-out options, 
unlike the older versions. As for nvidia cards, I can only say that I had 
_really_ bad experience with every card that I happened to use(don't look at 
the price too much :), especially on SMP systems - plus the nvidia drivers 
are extremely buggy(although I can't say much yet about the ATI ones). Btw, 
do you _really_ need agp8x? Personally, I was very suprised to see ~100fps in 
UT at 1024x768 with my card(agp4x)...but I'd have probably still bought 
8500/9100 if it would have been in the store near me :)
