(...)You may want to consider the ATI 9800 series, because they work with Warp Overlay and the ATI x850 AGP does not (I have one installed now) and ATI cards have a bug with SNAP overlay. For me there is a huge difference when using Warp Overlay with the ATI 9200-9800 series.(...)

First thing - why use warpoverlay while there is snapoverlay? The only few apps using warpoverlay were (iirc) warpvision (dead now), desktop painter, mplayer and kmp... - except desktop painter - all can work with snapoverlay.
Second thing - I'm using ati 9600 pro (agp) with snapoverlay without any issues. So if there is bug with snapoverlay and ATI cards - then it must be really minor bugSo really don't know if ATI x850 (agp) series will worse choice than ATI 9800 series.
Third thing - panorama driver is shitty. If you don't have to - don't use it.
I have a ATI x850 AGP PE and it does not work with SNAP overlay or Warp Overlay (only DIVE). If anyone has a ATI x850 series working please post the solution! Warpvision locks up immediately, mPlayer locks up within minutes and I have not tried kmp player. If your using mPlayer try specifically selecting SNAP overlay in the config file. And we are not talking about a 9600 card, but a ATI x850 series card.
However, if you have a ATI 9600 card that Warpvision specifically uses Warp Overlay and mPlayer uses WarpOverlay by the config file, I would really like to know about it. Please send me the config file for mPlayer !!!
I don't care if I am wrong, but post a solution for the ATI x850 series and SNAP-WARPOVERLAY, because there is a huge difference between DIVE and WarpOverlay.
So really don't know if ATI x850 (agp) series will worse choice than ATI 9800 series.
