I don't recognize the first one. Maybe you can look them up here.

And this archived site is good for some of the older cards.

Use the numbers from here to compare the different branded models:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_graphics_processing_units

Make sure you look at the models that match the slot type for the mobo
and cards that you have. You didn't mention AGP, PCI, PCI-e, etc.
