This is a card I used to own, Please ask any question and I will try and help.
Installation
As with all graphics cards, just plug and play (so they say). As said, plug in, connect up and install drivers. Took me 1/2 hour but could take 1hr at the most. As AGP cards go, easy.
Performance
This card has pixel shader 3.0, will do anti-anialising and anistropic filtering. If you want full techs visit AMD website. What this all means is that it will play 99% of the latest games out today. It is not the for runner of technology like the 8800 nvidea or x9500ati but is a far cheaper alternative with enough perforance power. Running the card does create heat, you need to have adequate cooling with the pro version as this does get hot, an artic solution if you have space may be advisable. I will say though, the heat aspect is not at dangerous levels. The actual PCI version will run slightly faster than this AGP version transfering less information per second and hence my upgrade.
HDTV
Yes, via the component cable to your tv you will have HD output although the 1 of 2 DVI connections will be more than adequate.
Catalyst control center
This is a program with the card that will control all aspects of it running. Helpful if you are a control freak or are having some troubles. This is not unique to this card though if a nvidea user currently, handy to know.
Bang for Buck
Performance is very good, is very well spec'd and will be a fine addition to any PC. If you do not have the money for top of the range, this is a great inbetween and will save you lots. I would go for the PCI version if you have the capability although not a huge amount of difference.
What did I play
I played games like CS:S, medieval 2, microsoft combat flight sim, F.E.A.R and company of heros and some lesser games, why say this, well, if you play them, you will know they can be power hungary games and this graphics card will more than suit your needs. it will give you an good idea of the type of game it can cope with easily.
Manufacturing support
As AMD and ATI are now one (ATI cards work better with AMD than nvidea by the way, the same performance with Intel) there is a huge structure behind you. Although all problems to issues are web based, you can almost always find the answer you are looking for. I have not really tested the system as I have had no real problems with the card but the surface looks great.
Summary
The card is a good value for money go between for when you want power at a lower price. It is worth taking your hat of too and will futer proof you for a while to come although PCI motherboards may be better future proofing. It will not give you the best frame rates but more than you need. For more tech specs, visit the AMD website and search for X1650. Thanks.
This certain card is one I used to own for 6 months before upgrading to PCI version of same card.
