As the title suggests I am looking for a video card for my old PIII. Can be either AGP or PCI, I only have one request, which is it must be able to run compiz. Please give me a price quote for it shipped to Zipcode: 11239
Thank you,
Eric

You need to be running at least the Dapper (6.06 LTS) release.
You need a supported video card. (See list below.)
You need to have video card drivers with 3D acceleration installed. See Hardware (https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html) on the Ubuntu Documentation for help with this.
Supported Hardware
ATI
Mobility Radeon 9700 SE: Xgl running with proprietary fglrx driver 8.23
Radeon X300: Xgl running with proprietary fglrx driver 8.23
NVIDIA
A MX 4xxx series card or newer using the NVIDIA binary driver.
Intel

https://help.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuhelp/img/%28./%29 For a comprehensive list of supported graphics cards with user comments, see this Gentoo Wiki page (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Video_Card_Support_Under_XGL).
https://help.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuhelp/img/%28%21%29 Note for intel users : Running xgl might be slow with intel cards. If you want to run compiz, you might prefer to run aiglx.
