I've just found a ATI Radeon x1650 'Pro' in a cupboard in my house.
I don't know why it's there, how it got there or when, but its here.
Can anybody tell me if its any good at all?
I use macs and always have and have never needed a graphics card, nor has anybody in my household, so I don't know how it got into my house lol!
Is it just something to bin or could it actually be used in a modern computer (by which I mean running for example a game, like World Of Warcraft, at an acceptable graphics setting) should I wish to?

EDIT: Sorry for the backwards image, didn't think to photoshop it + inverse it! :(
And the word Sapphire is on it a few times if that makes it any better!?

Thanks so much :)

Do you think if I crossfire'd it it would be worth actually using?
I have done a little more research which mostly just says "runs on vista", which is not really what I have planned for it.
I am thinking of a build for running a Hamachi WoW server, and this find would certainly be good if it could be salvaged (and possibly crossfire'd?) to make a half decent output?
cheers x
 
any crap graphics card does wow aslong as it has 256mb of memory and a powerful cpu, wow barely uses a GPU its very much like directx7 games on that front
 
Used to have one, could play Crysis at low at 1024x768 or medium at 800x600, was pretty good for the money when I brought it at least (being it was cheaper and faster than a 7600 GS).
