I am currently using a "Built by ATI 7500 64M DDR AGP" and it works flawlessly. I previously had a "PowerColor Evil Master" aka "Powered by ATI 7500 64M DDR AGP" which was detected and would run for arbitrary periods of time and then lock up. Other than that I'd definitely second this reommendation.
