Just curious, but what kind of performance do you get with one of
these?  (the 9200)  I'm not sure what kind of metrics there are on
Linux.  About the only one I know of is glxgears.  What kind of frame
rates do you get with that?  For comparison, my GeForce 440 Go with
the nvidia driver gets about 1700 fps at 1280x800 (screen res, window
is normal size) at 24 bit.
