Disappointing. This card gives a standard 3Dmark2001SE score of only 6215
compared to the Radeon 9200 (a repackaged Radeon 8500) score of 5789. So
for the £20 extra you get a slightly higher performance, double the amount
of memory, DirectX 9 support, and a small fan with a blue LED light.
Even when overclocked to the Radeon 9600 stock speed of 325MHz core and
400MHz memory and a 10% increased FSB you only get a 3Dmark2001SE score of
7563 with this card. The board does remain stable (at least for one day) at
this speed however.
You do not get a manual with this package and there is no 9550 manual on the
enclosed CD-ROM.
I continue on my quest to find a good quality, higher performance, mid-range
3D graphics card. Neither nVidia nor ATI offer a card at the £50-£60 price
point that improves dramatically on my present choice of Sapphire Radeon
9200 with 64Mb DDR for only £36 inc VAT.
This card/chip has been created by marketing not by design. Avoid.

Small remark: the 9200 isn't a repackaged 8500, it's a repackaged 9000. The
9100 was a repackaged 8500.
