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.)
