I just read on the Fedora development list that good support for the newer Radeon cards is lacking. That doesn't mean a Radeon won't work, it means the drivers won't take advantage of all the speed the card is capable of. You might get better actual performance from a card that is better supported. Better support for Radeon cards is expected in XFree 4.4.0, which is still in beta. Even then, there will still be a lot of potential performance left on the table.
Of course, I never use X Windows on any of my Linux machines, so I don't really care about graphics performance.

I can attest to that! I have tried Red Hat 9 and Mandrake 9.1. While X runs just great and 2D games work OK, 3D games are _very_ slow. When I had a Matrox G200 AGP card with 8MB RAM, it ran circles around my Radeon 7500.
