On amd64 I only got experience with a Matrox P650 and an nVidia 6800LE.
The first crashed in every graphical config I could think of. Only CLI
worked. Matrox was very unresponsive and offered no help beyond a 'did you
flash it with the latest BIOS?'.
The nVidia works great, albeit a little louder than I would really like
due to a fan-based cooling (Zalmans HP-80 does not fit and the NV Silencer
is not as silent as I was lead to believe).
Also check the thread I started somewhere in August I think about the
subject of recommended videocards for an AMD64-system.

Matrox though.

Thomas
