If you are thinking of stereo, Quadro FX1400 (128 MB RAM) performs OK for small proteins ... it is old technology but newer stereo-enabled cards (Quadro 3500 Quadro 3700) are rather expensive. FX1400 runs nicely on CentOS, and supports dual monitors (consider CRT for full-screen visualization + LCD for concurrent text work)
Another stereo option is the Quadro FX 560. This is a newer card than the FX 1400, which support blue-line stereo. (Thus you will need a StereoEnabler, as it doesn't have a hardware port) Still, the 560 + enabler is a lot cheaper than the 3700s. Note that the 570 and newer models do not support blue-line stereo.
