"One project that I've been following quite closely lately is a project started by chip-designer Timothy Miller, called the Open Graphics Project. His goal, along with the rest of the project, known as the Open Graphics Foundation, is to make a 3D accelerated video card which is fully documented, free-licensed, and open source." We have already covered the OGP a few times, but this article gives a nice overview of the project.

ATI radeon boards have open sourced drivers, if you have a r100 or 200 class chip. They might not be the speediest performers by today's standards, but surely one of the top-end r200's can rock the heck out of any intel integrated chip.
My firegl 8800 128MB was only 60 bucks off of Ebay.
Here, take a look:

The OSS/DRI drivers are not as fast as ATI's closed drivers, but there's been alot of talk about the FGLRX drivers not working properly with r200s anyways.
