GeForce 2MX or ATi Radeon 32MB. Or, you could go with the Hercules Prophet 4500.

Radeon is probably the best for this.

If youre looking for a good workstation card and have the money i would suggest one of the Quadro series

Quadros cost way too much- unless u hack a GF series For primarily 2D work you could go for a Matrox. They specialize in that.
