I would use the Radeon 9200 over the rest. (I don't know what the IGP 320 is 
exactly. Is that an onboard chipset?) Either way the 9200 is the generation 
newer than the 7500 and should be supported by both the ATI Firegl drivers 
and the opensource drivers. I have a 9100 that does well with the opensource 
DRI drivers but doesn't seem to handle the UT2004 demo.

The DRI drivers are probably all you need. If you had a 9500 or greater then 
you may want the FireGL but upto 9200 will run well with DRI drivers with 3D 
support.
