Works great with Linux Jan 04, 2010
Put this in my high-end Dell Precision 470 workstation running OpenSuSE 11.1 Linux. Linux drivers work perfectly. Running dual 23" LCD monitors (Xinerama - side-by-side display) at 1920x1200, no problems, no complaints.

Not AGP Compatible Nov 10, 2009
The Radeon HD3650 describes itself as "PCI-Express/AGP/PCI" compatible. However, it can not be installed in the AGP8X systems board connector used in a Dell 4600 Dimension series PC.
Amazon service is great. They provided a prompt refund.

Good card for the money Oct 12, 2009
I've had this card since September 24th and it has worked beautifully in a dual lcd setup on a business PC. Purchasing this card was a no-brainer as it has two DVI-outs (which is difficult to find in budget cards), and a decent amount of video RAM for under $60.

The cooling fan on the card I received differs from the one shown on the item page. Mine just came with a black fan, no blue housing or graphics (not a problem really).

Setting up the card was a concern, because I was moving from a nVidia card (and I read horror stories), but installation was simple and no driver conflicts occurred.

For the money, this card outperforms many nVidia budget cards, and can play some recent game releases with no problems.

I am pleased with this purchase.

Sapphire Video Card not worth the money! Sep 28, 2009
I purchased this video card on 03.Aug.09 and it began to fail on 15.Sep.09. I was given the run around by the manufacturer's customer 'no-service' only to finally be informed that they would not cover the warranty as the item was not sold directly through their website. While ATI and Radeon products have always been solid in the past, I will never suggest that anyone purchase anything with a Sapphire label.

Excellent card for the money Jun 09, 2009
This really is a great card for the cost. I did some research, and $50 for a video card with 120 stream processors is pretty good. I am currently using Windows Vista 32 Bit. Previously, my windows rating was a 4.3 due to my old video card.

I installed this video card, rebooted my computer, uninstalled my old video driver and went online to get the latest driver/video card software for this card (didn't bother using the included disc). After the install was complete, I updated my windows rating and it increased to 4.8. I opened the Catalyst Control Center software that installed with the driver and went to the ATI overdrive feature. I ran the auto tune feature. After rebooting my computer I ran the windows rating again where it was pushed to a 5.0

I ran a video stress test with Counter Strike Source and got 88 fps at 1920x1200 through a 24" Dell Ultrasharp monitor. The control center is great for adjusting the contrast and brightness controls for my installed TV tuner. The surface mounted fan is pretty quiet and I didn't have to upgrade my 305 Watt power supply. Overall, I am very happy with this card.

I did however run into an issue where Vista's User Protection kept blocking the Catalyst Control Center. If this happens, go to the search area on the start menu and type: "msconfig." Open up the start up tab and un-check the box labeled "CCC". Then OK the changes and restart your computer.

Then after the reboot, go back into the search field but this time type "task scheduler." In the task scheduler:

-create a new task
-in the general tab label it something like CCC
-check the box "run with highest privileges"
-on the trigger tab begin the task "at log on"
-in the actions tab choose "start a program"
-then browse for the program "CCC start" that was installed most likely in (C:\program files\ATI technologies\core static\CCC start) and select it.

After you find the file, OK out of the task scheduler and reboot. Now the task scheduler should run the CCC with its highest privilege so the User Account Control will not block it.
