GeForce 2 MX works well, also under Windows, and these days the
cards are very affordable since whoever still has them in stock
is desperate to unload them.
The one drawback I found was that native Solaris 8 (x86)
doesn't have NVIDIA support (except for one antique model),
but that can be remedied with an available patch that integrates
the XFree86 driver support into the Solaris environment.
(See, it's not just Plan 9 that has problems supporting the
variety of PC hardware.)
