MTU seems to recomend The ATI Radeon 9200, because it's price is good and it will do the job well. They say to make sure it is built by ATI and not just an ATI on board vid card to make sure it will work. Some of the ATI on board Vid Cards may work but it will be a hit and miss thing. I got a 9200 and it works fine, I did have a problem with the first one I bought , it was a factory refurbished and it went bad within 2 weeks. They will replace it, but I had to go out and buy a new one so as not to be down , can always use an extra just in case. There is a 9200se but it has less video mem and I'm not sure it will work the way it should.

So I guess I would recomend buying a ATI Radeon 9200 Retail box. (the retail box comes with all the drivers needed and set up instructions) It will set you back around $100.00 give or take $10.00 one way or the other.

Don't buy anything that says "POWERED BY ATI" either. They use some ATI patented components but are made by other manufacturers, usually less expensive, and have been known to be troublesome. Some work, some don't.

As BOWFISHN said make sure it is BUILT BY ATI.
