To become betatester which graphic card should we buy ? and where is possible to buy a pci model ?
People have been asking me where you can buy these cards, I've put up a page with links to a few sources. If anyone knows of other places where you can buy them, post them here, or email me the links.
Can I use my AGP card and a PCI card (in 33MHz slot) simultaneously on my A1 ? (I dont' want to lose 3D.) What your HD2400 driver can do already and what it can't ? DVI ?

That's exactly what I've been doing in order to develop the driver. If I had to swap the cards over every time, it would have taken much longer.
The HD 2400 can display on both VGA and DVI, but has no hardware acceleration yet. People should only apply to become a beta tester if they're really interested in testing; people who want to replace their graphics card with a newer one need to wait.
I?d go for the Radeon 2900XT in the case it is suitable.
Gimme a shout, please
edit: oh yes, and i don?t think the HD 3000 and 4000 series are working due to the chipset(?)! RV7xx and RV8xx i think
In theory a Radeon HD 3000 or even 4000 series card should work, but good luck finding a PCI version.

Like...a Radeon HD 4870 X2 PCI-e?

OK, then, i?m not on my miggy atm and don?t have the time to check...
What would be the highest spec?ed card that would fit the purpose?
Thank you

Sorry to be of annoyance, but the Radeon HD 2400 PRO PCI with 256 MB RAM would work then?

Are the cards big? Could it fit inside the sam case?`small one...
Can you use low-profile (i.e., half-height) cards in your SAM? If so, there are a few low profile cards available. They have both a full height and low profile end plates.
I tried to put in a powercolor hd 2400 pro pci inside my sam and A1SE,but nothing happened. The machine did not start up either, Is this normal?
No, it isn't normal. IIRC, the SAM can only use 3.3V capable PCI cards, and you cannot use the AGP slot and the 66 MHz slot at the same time in an A1. Make sure that it's in a 33 MHz PCI slot on the A1SE. I know that the A1SE has more issues than the A1XE, so I have no idea how it behaves.
Someone else tested an HD 2400 in a SAM flex, and it started up okay (still tracking down a bug in the driver though).
When you say the machine doesn't start up, do you see anything on-screen? If the HD 2400 is the primary graphics, then you should see UBoot on the HD 2400. If the HD 2400 is the secondary card, all you'll see on its output is a flashing cursor; UBoot and OS4 will output to the other graphics card.
