Thanks. So it looks like chipset R200 should make no problems.

Here is also something useful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_graphics_processing_units#Radeon_R200_.288xxx.2C_9xxx.29_series

I think I will buy these cards then (to be installed in a multseat 
workstation):

- AGP: Radeon 9250, 256 MB RAM, user 1, to be used as dual head ("mirror")
- PCI: Radeon 9250, 128 MB RAM, user 2


Any good/bad experiences with these, or any other remarks?
