Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD4650 1 GB AGP Video Card GV-R465D2-1GI Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these cards to put into an old Pentium 4 system I am refurbing for 2 of my grandsons (ages 7&5). In a setup with a P4 2.67Ghz, 2Gb ram, 120Gb hard drive, this card lets Windows 7 run all the Aero features. May not run the latest games at high settings but will handle a lot of them OK when set to lower graphic settings in the games.
No issues installing the driver, just downloaded the current Hotfix driver from AMD's site (they own ATI), ran the install and 1 reboot later all is well.
Specs call for a 400 watt power supply in your system to run the card well (remember to plug a power connector into the card or it'll crash all the time). This one has a 500 watt in it so I can't comment on how it works with lower wattage PSU's.
These are great cards but AGP is a dead slot technology so these cards will be hard to find soon.
