Get the Radeon 7500. Support for the original Radeon is finally
starting to solidify, including 3D, and from what I've read the
Radeon 7500 is an updated version of the original Radeon core where
the main change is a smaller process and correspondingly higher core
clock rate. If true, this should mean that it won't take long to get
the 7500 working with existing drivers.
