what does a Radeon9200SE cost over there? I can get them from bewtween
AU$1 and AU$50 on ebay here.... that satisfys the above, however you next

so old...

your stuck with NVIDIA, ATIs binary drivers suck much worse than NVIDIAs,
at least NVIDIA do some work to make sure they release drivers for newer
kernels and X releases...
