Don't be fooled by the name and large memory numbers. It's a 128bit card
with a large amount of very slow 800Mhz DDR2. There are 512Mb HD3850 AGP
cards (Saphhire, for one) available with a 256bit interface, 1650Mhz DDR3.
The performance of this HD 4650It's is not even close. You get what you pay
for, and you need to read specs of the card, not just the name and amount of
memory.

Ahem...I really need to proof better before hitting send. It should read:

"The performance of this HD 4650 is far below a 256bit HD 3850 DDR3 card.
It's not even close."
