First off you need to upgrade to a modern distribution, no currently
available card is going to be supported in RH7.2. Put Fedora Core 4 on
your machine, don't do an upgrade do a clean install, RH7.2 is way to old
for an upgrade to work. Then you can do a search for Linux compatible
cards, if the card has support in the current kernel then it will work in
FC4.
