A word of caution. Be careful when choosing a Radeon 9200 based
card. Mine uses AGP v3 which is not supported by the 2.4.x kernels.
I can use the card in X with XFree86, but fps is way down in the
300 range with 1600x1200 at 24 resolution. AGP v3 is in the 2.6.x
kernels but is not likely to be back ported.
