SAPPHIRE RADEON X1650 PRO REVIEW

"The powerful Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro with 256MB DDR3, Ringbus, Avivo and Crossfire is pitted against the MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT. The Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro is almost identical to the earlier x1600 XT apart from the Sapphire Radeon x1650's lower price tag and speed increase."
