What are you using now?
Anything from Nvidia should be pretty easy to get working in Ubuntu...

Yeah. ATI is not too bad and getting better, but Nvidia will have better performance, hands down. Instead of a radeon 9200se try for a geforce4 ti or geforce fx series card. The 6200 and 6600 might be the best buy as far as linux gaming cards go, too so one of those might be ideal.
The thing is, ATI cards might be fast as far as directx is concerned but their opengl performance leaves much to be desired. Not to mention, Nvidia's linux drivers are usually on par with their windows drivers and ATIs are not.

For my money, it's veeeery hard to beat an nVidia GeForce4 Ti4200.

Nvidia all the way. I use Gf4 128 mb ti4600. Never had any problems.

I have an NVidia fx5600 ultra, very nice card, also cost me 3 times what my ATI radeon 9200 did, but, for performance, you get what you pay for. Both work great in linux for me.

I've got an NVidia fx5600XT which was a cast off from a hardcore gamer friend. Took about 30 seconds to get working perfectly in Linux, compared to about 4 hours getting the old Radeon 9000 working somewhat inefficiently.
