"ATI's HD 3650 replaces the HD 2600 Pro, a frustrating underachiever.

Generally, I dislike video cards in the $50-100 range, mainly because

they're not going to play new games well and, if you're after

features, then you're better off buying a lesser model from the same

series. The features here are the real selling points--two of which

stand out ahead of price, connectivity (HDMI), and low power-

consumption. First is video playback. ATI swings when it comes to

playing movies, and even their entry-level cards are going to do well,

if not flawlessly. Second is Hybrid CrossFire. All 3000-series cards

can be run in CrossFire with motherboards that have the 780G (and

upcoming 790GX) chipsets, in either a performance mode (like regular

CrossFire) or power-saving mode, which completely powers down the

video card when integrated video is good enough. Combined, these

features might give cause to move up a price bracket, favoring a 36

over a 34."
