Good review Jake, there is one thing that caught my eye was under the specs on page 3 you said that this card uses DDR3 Memory but the box on the next page says DDR2 which is correct?

The Sapphire Radeon 5550 Ultimate is a low-power, passively cooled, budget graphics card, marketed to consumers who may be interested in something for their HTPC or the occasional foray into some light gaming. It's almost the baby of the 5000 series Radeon cards, with the 5450 sitting one rung lower, but continues to attempt to offer good value for those people with a very moderate budget.

I have to agree it's a step backwards. This looks like another good HTPC card
