   Check the SNAP readme for details of supported ATI cards; I know from    
   experience that x300, x550, x600, x700 and x800 work fine, later ATI    
   cards may only be supported in VESA mode or by the Panorama driver.   
      
   I suspect you will find mainly 2nd user ATI x series cards on ebay but    
   sometimes new cards (old stock?) do get listed.   
      
   Regards
