ATI graphics?

Looks like the amd machine I have to bring back to life has a bum video 
card, so I'm forced to get a new one.  It probably doesn't matter, but 
the Mobo is a Tyan S2875 K8W dual Opteron board.  I have a soft spot for 
ATI boards, so I would like to see what is the latest Radeom board that 
works with FreeBSD-current on AMD64's.

I was doing some reading, and I found a hint that the R300 was the 
fastest board architecture, but I'm not too sure I trust where I saw 
that, so i wanted to verify it.  The latest R300 card I could find was a 
9700, and I found one on sale at $127, so there's all the stuff I have 
been able to find.  If I've made any mistakes in this, g'wan and tell 
me, please, I need to get this board pretty soon now.

The new machine's going to be pretty nice, once I get it going.  Thanks!
