POWERCOLOR X1650 512MBDDR2 -- Is it worth $64.99?

[integramodder]

Its got a rebate for 50 bucks @ NEWEGG: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814131041

This would go into my HTPC, so I dont need anything super powerful, but I dont want to spend more than, well, 65 bucks...


Is it worth it or is the brand/card no good?

Well, the 512MB of RAM on there is almost entirely useless, but otherwise its a decent card for the money.

Just my 2 cents.

Is there anything else I should look into considering itll be used for HTPC?

might want to wait for ATI's HD2400 since it'll have the universal video decoder (UVD). otherwise, i thikn the x1650 is a solid choice
