Some data points: I have two machines with old Radeon cards, both with the radeonhd driver. R200, straight PCI, is unusable. R300, laptop built-in, is somewhat usable. I haven't tried the radeon driver, just radeonhd - things may be different with it. Finding that R200 was hard about two years ago, and actually more expensive than an AGP card. These days it may be cheaper to find a used machine that can do PCI/E or AGP, than to find a straight PCI video card that is fast enough.
