hey there, I currently have an ATI 9550 128MB graphics card, and when I ran windows it owned - for a while. Now its too sluggish for some of the newer games (yeh, ok all of them) and I have had many problems playing games on linux (and compiz fusion... but that is a different thread ;) ). So I am thinking of getting a new card. (compatibility comes first, then speed). I've done a little research and found a couple of candidates:

so, a couple of questions. Which one is more likely to be the most compatible, and which one is better in the long run, entirely linux speaking, of course. Also if you can recommend a better card please do so :)

p.s I am on a budget - I'd like to stay below £40 - £50. Thanks :D
