Also be sure to check the versions of the actual product.  They are a 
bit tricksey and will change a chip set from one version of the exact 
product to another.

If you are going to the store to buy, i recommend printing this out.

The prism 2/2.5/3 work great.  Check on current support for other 
chipsets.  I was never able to get a PrismGT to work on 9.2.

I walked in and they sales guy says "Can I help you find something." 

I said, "Doubt it."

That made him none too happy, but after explaining what i was looking 
for turns out I was right.
