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.
