Why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I mean I understand it but it is maddening to me. Get Average Joe Buyer to buy this hunk of crap because of the flashy "1GB MEMORY!!!" sticker on the box. Then cripple the hell out of the card with a 64-bit bus. But the HD 5750 only has 512MB! AHHHH.

its a htpc card, it doesnt need raw power, just enough to play HD video which i'm sure it can(and you do notice that ATI has been using half the bus as nvidia (128 vs 256+) and beating them for performance, right?) ati wouldnt be in the wrong unless they price it up with the 5750(which they won't) like nvidia did the GT 240 being priceyer than a 9800GT and lower performance at stockMajor_A wrote:Why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Re: MSI Radeon HD 5450 1GB Video Card Pictured and For Sale
My point was the card doesn't need 1GB of memory. My second point is this simple fact will confuse non-tech savvy buyers into thinking that more is better (1GB vs 512MB).
