Radeons with at most a R4xx series chipset. In marketing numbers, that's the
ones without an "X" (e.g. 7000 (R1xx), 9200, 9250 (R2xx), 9500, 9550 (R3xx)),
the "X" ones up to and including X850 and the "X1050" which is just a reedited
X300/X550/X600 series card (R3xx series chipset, unlike the X850 which is an
R4xx).
Careful, the "X" ones are primarily PCI-Express, though there are AGP versions
of some of them.
WARNING: Stay clear of anything with a higher number than X1050, those are R5xx
or R6xx series cards and not supported by Free 3D drivers yet. You have been
warned.
