That's an R500 chipset. It'll work in 2d now, and 3D (and with compiz) in
the future. If you need 3D now, you need a much older card -- R200 or R300
chipset. Look at the man page for "radeon" for product name-to-chipset
matching.

Any reason why it has to be ATI ? Nvidia make cards too ...

Well, yes, but while native x.org/mesa support for ATI is growing, since ATI is opening up their hardware to the free software community, for the foreseeable future you will always need Nvidia's binary blobs, to drive their hardware. ATI should be supported for their decision to support the free software community, and Nvidia should be boycotted.
