which ATI card?

[Ryan Meldrum]

I running openSuSE 10.3 and have an ATI Sapphire card.  I do minor 
gaming and wanted something cheap, but could handle Quake III arena.

I downloaded the drivers from ATI and they work perfectly.  It has the 
ability to do dual head, along with SVIDEO out.  Draw back, no dvi 
cables included....

$70 ATI Sapphire 3650 512MB
