Reviews of the ATI Radeon X1650 Pro (dual link)

CNET Review
The Good: Strongest 3D card in the $100 segment.
The Bad: Real-world pricing is all over the map.
The Bottom Line: We don't recommend paying even $125 for this new budget 3D card from ATI, but assuming you can find it for $100 or less, the Radeon X1650 Pro will meet your Windows Vista and basic gaming needs without overheating your PC or your wallet.
