PowerColor is one brand I usually avoid. Heard too much bad things about
their products.
As for Sapphire: Before ATI went into making cards on their own it was
Sapphire who manufactured their adapters for them. You can't go wrong
with a Radeon from Sapphire.
HIS/Enmic is another fine brand if you're settling for a Radeon-based
card.

It's those extra letters you need to avoid, like SE or EZ or "Lite".
They usually indicate 128 or even 64 bit versions, slow memory, or
disabled pipelines, or other cripplers. ATi resellers seem to be heavily
afflicted with this crippleware lately, and it's not doing ATi's
reputation any good.

I`d disagree about the HIS....I`ve had 2 cards from them fail within a
month..While both were low end cards (MX440 and a 9550 ) I cant see
different production values within one factory. I would agree with the
Sapphire comment...I have never read anything bad about them. I wish I could
go back and kick myself for trying HIS the second time.
