A great price for a 512MB DDR2 Graphics Card. Just followed the installation directions exactly and had no problems. Also surprisingly quiet for a highend graphics card. ATI never disappoints me and Powercolor has delivered a decent product at a low cost.
I'm holding off on the rebate due to the bad reviews I've read. If the card does end up failing for one reason or another I can still return it as long as I don't apply for the rebate. I've read some failures occured 2 and 1/2 months after installation. I will keep my fingers crossed.
Some reviewers of Powercolor Products have reported problems. With the X1650 Pro 512MB, I had no trouble until updating to Catalyst 8.6 . After moving up to Catalyst 8.6 VPU Recover kept kicking in. My games would not finish loading. Fortunately, with the re-installation of Catalyst 8.5 my problem was solved. Catalyst 8.5 is available at the following URL.

This product is a great buy. I have yet to find a game it wont play. For the money i think its one of the best value agp card in its range, The graphics are crisp and clear. The card was easy to install and installing the drivers was easy. (I downloaded the latest driver from the ati website) The box it came in was well packed but i was dissapointed with the lack of instructions.
