i find this card just right for recent releases of games for using the 512mb mem

Most games don't need 512MB Memory.
And I got a X1050 256Mb then overclocked it too.

Core Clock:756 Mhz
Memory Clock: 650 Mhz

And It overperformed my old X700.

What stupid comments on this page. The X1550 is close to identical to the X1300 and only exist for the purpose of consumers who want VALUE. Save the nerdish comments for the high end line.

It's not the matter of how strong it is.
It's all about money !!! You want value ? go for it.
You want more power to your gaming world ? Hunt the X1950 or 2900XT.

Our X1550 is better than a 6600GT and has equal power to 7600GS DDR2

The 6600 GT is significantly faster than a X1550 .

If it has 256Mb onboard memory, why does it require 256Mb of system memory (in Vista)?

Who's the fool. One who shells out a few dollars for a value card that performs perfectly well or someone spending a few hundred dollars for something made for a few dollars in some slave shop in China?

ALOT OF THESE CARDS ARE 32-BIT! WATCH OUT! I picked one up thinking it was too good to be true, and yes, it was. The X1650 line of cards are VERY RESPECTABLE. This and the x1050 seem to have alot in common.

Btw, it was the ASUS X1550 256mb, said it was 128-bit, but it wasn't. It was amazing 32-bit. Beleive it or not on my s939 Ath64 3500 , 2gb pc2700 in dual channel, ran CS:S on high and all HDR 45 fps. Crazy for $30, but still, crappy card. The X1650 512mb go for $50 on newegg and are alot better.
