Graphics Cards
The Sapphire X550 is made for those users who don’t want to live with sub-par on-board graphics but also don’t need insane pixel power for 8-hour frag fests. It’s also made for those who want a little more than what the very bottom of the pile, like the X300 or 6200, offers. If that fits your bill, then the X550 is easy to recommend. It’s a simple package that does a simple job and does that job pretty well.
One of the best applications of this card would undoubtedly be for a media PC or HTPC, where silence is a must. The card is also small and should easily fit in any standard case. So, if you’re thinking about building a Windows XP Media Center Edition box, then give this card a look.
