Subject: should I buy ATI Mach64 or #9 card?

The Pentium P-90 system I'm planning on buying soon comes with an ATI Mach64
video card with 2Mb.  I've heard a lot of really good things about the
#9 GXE Pro card and am wondering if perhaps I should ask to get that one
instead.

I'll be doing the usual windows goo, but I'd like to spend most of my
time running either netbsd or freebsd (haven't decided which yet).  And
yes, that incudes running X.

Should I get the #9 card or should I just stick with the ATI board?

Thanks
