ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory 128MiB

[Steve]

My evaluation of such low-end hardware using the latest graphically challenging games might seem pointless at first glance. Look twice and you'll see that while both HyperMemory and TurboCache boards were generally really unhappy with the latest games, analysis of UT2004 shows that in older games (and to some extent new ones at very low resolution) they'll do fine. If your aim is to build a really cheap PCI Express-based gaming box for the kids, or to use a card as a stop-gap solution before you pick up something more powerful, they do fine.

good to see "run of the mill" products getting an airing

im guessing the x300se does a reasonable bit better in hl2 because of the 'freindlyness' between hl2 creators and ati

ati always seems to copy nvidias ideas. examples are crossfire, turbocharging memory and 'gt' suffix
