Make sure they are Radeons that are supported by the xorg-x11 driver
first if you want 3D acceleration.  Those are:

chip   cards
R100   Radeon 7200
RV100  Radeon 7000(VE), M6
RS100  Radeon IGP320(M)
RV200  Radeon 7500, M7, FireGL 7800
RS200  Radeon IGP330(M)/IGP340(M)
RS250  Radeon Mobility 7000 IGP
R200   Radeon 8500, 9100, FireGL 8800/8700
RV250  Radeon 9000PRO/9000, M9
RS300  Radeon 9100 IGP
RS350  Radeon 9200 IGP
RV280  Radeon 9200PRO/9200/9200SE, M9+

Other Radeons will work, but will get no 3d acceleration.

The good news is that 9200 based OEM boards are relatively cheap (128M
cards for ~$50 or less on-line).  Good performance and low price are a
winning combination.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
