We've got C\* running on two identical machines the only difference being the graphics cards. One with an ELSA Gloria II and the other with a Matrox G450 dual head. The Gloria wins hands down. Also a good thing to remember C\*2 which is released later this year will have open GL support so I'd definitely go for the 3D card.
