If those companies are making money hand-over-fist I would not say their marketing sucks.
You may not like how they market their product(s) but that is rather irrelevant in the scheme of things.

System Specs

I was right about this board, this is what the Radeon 7000-7500 were relegated to after the radeon 9000 series came out. These are good for IGP upgrades. And its true GPU companies make the most money off of Middle, Mainstream and Budget parts because of the price, they get the units out faster than the Upper End Parts.

Youd definitely find these in Retail stores such as best buy, frys, compusa, circuit city. Even BX/PX/NXs. Heck I think even Directron has them.

Indeed a 5450

Fancy them flogging a graphics card and not even saying what brand (nvidia/amd) it is!

I thought the copious amounts of red gave it away (unless you're red-green colour-blind).

Speaking of the marketing involving these products, I ran across an interesting article over at Ars Technica:

most who buy such boards use the Disk driver normally, never update it, just like IGP users
