I would guess that most older Rage-based ATI chipsets will work just fine as well. I also had a Matrox Millenium [2] card in too earlier that worked OK. You can find some for around $10 on eBay, go for a 4MB or 8MB model. Matrox Mystique might also work but I had flashed mine to a Mac BIOS and hadn't tested in the AS.
