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.

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


It's very faint.. but if you zoom in on the box picture it does say it there:

:pimp:

100% right.
I was gaming on a 5450, besides an onboard one (AMD 740G IIRC), an Radeon HD 3450, Intel HD 2000, and currently my Nvidia GT 520 :). not maxed and 1024x768 So yeah playable is more than everything maxed and >1080p with ~60 FPS

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