OK here we have a very Usefull and great value of Video Card. It is a 512 mb and suprisingly smaller then most video cards on the market. Yet its right up the with the best ones. I think if you over look this when you are thinking of buying a Video Card then you need your head examining.
Not only does this Graphics/ Video offer high graphics for Games and Watching DVD Videos on one screen, but you can watch them on two screens now. This Card has two output ports so you can add two screens at once. I have been using two screens now on my PCs at home and work for about a year and Im lost without them. I can not see how i managed with just the one screen. It also has a TV output via a dongle.

Advantages: Cheap, Good for multimedia PC. Disadvantages: Poor performance in high level gaming.
This Sapphire Radeon X1550 is a simple PCI Express graphics card with 512MB of DDR2 onboard memory. With a retail price of around $89, it is quite affordable.

The fan is not making noise too.
Conclusion :
This card performed exactly as I expected. If you play the occasional ...

Advantages: Good value Disadvantages: very sparse set up details in generic box
For value for money this is a fantastic Graphics card. I upgraded one machine that was running a 128meg card and the performance upgrade was so good I have done the same on my other two machines I own. The only problem that I could have had was that the 2nd and 3rd cards had Xp and Vista only drivers despite the box's claim that it contained Win2k and Xp drivers. As I am running one xp and two Win2k machines that might have been a problem however ...
