Between 'man radeon' and Wikipedia's "Radeon R200" entry, you ought to
be able to pick a suitable older ATi-based card. The latest that is
fully supported by the X.Org drivers (meaning 3-D and all that good
stuff) is the 9200-something, IIRC. Newer cards are useable with
binary ATi-supplied drivers (if you can sleep with yourself after
stooping so low). Most cards in the Radeon 9xxx range can be purchased
brand new for $20-40.
