A 7300GT is a fairly bottom-of-the-line card. It's the cheapest card I've seen 
that has dual-link DVI connectors (required for big, high resolution 
monitors).

Your definition of better is very different to mine.

The open source does everything I need (high resolution, fast 2d, video).
The binary driver doesn't work at all under Xen, and locks up periodically on 
half my machines.

That will result in a broken Debian system. Use module-assistant if you need 
the binary driver.
