Pros: 512MB of DDR3 RAM, big cooling unit that is not very loud. I am running this with a Dell Dimension 8400, Intel P4 and 1 GB DDR2 RAM
Cons: A little on the expensive side for an X1650, but worth it for the extra cooling and RAM.
Overall Review: I upgraded from a very old radeon x300 with 128MB RAM that came with my PC, and this card made a huge difference playing Oblivion and Splinter Cell:DA. I was a little worried that the card wouldn't fit in my Dell Dimension 8400, but ended up having no problems. The website doesn't mention this, but the manual that came with the card recommends a 450 watt PSU. I only have a 350 watt PSU, but have had no problems running this card. I might have to upgrade to a better PSU in the future. I recommend this card for anyone with an older system that wants to get a little extra life out of it.
