Just a note - if this is a server I wouldn't even bother installing the nvidia 
or ATI drivers, the plain vesa ones will be fast enough, more stable and 
easier to install.

If reliability is important than a old card with no fan has mo moving parts to 
go wrong. This usually means an old or low-end one.
