Exact, also the fact that they are cheap as hell, and an incomparable
price/performance ratio in these conditions. I have a wildcat VP 880 Pro which
should work too, and full specs of it, but no time to write the driver. This
one should be of the same generation of the Radeon 9500-9800, i think. Maybe
not clocked as high though.

MOL is not 3D accelerated, so games in MOL are a big nono for now. There was
talk from Samuel Rydh some time ago about an architecture where either MOL
would take over the card completely, thus benefiting from the Mac OS X 3D
drivers. Or to map the OS-X 3d accel calls to DRI stuff. None has really
worked on stuff like that though yet. You are welcome to participate on this.
