The XR projectors display a crystal-clear picture for an occasional home theater set-up or to show the big game at home. Gamers will also appreciate the high contrast ratio and brightness. The projectors offer HDTV/DTV compatibility for use with current and future video technologies as well as extensive connectivity options.
...extra frames out if you have the know how, though. The stock fan and heatsink are well equiped to handle this.
Ease of Use
The catalyst drivers provide a very easy way to tweak performance, and each new revision seems to squeeze out a bit more power from a chipset that is slowly aging. Installation is straightforward, with the card recognised by XP.

Since buying it, I have had many many uses where a label has been...
