You should find that the pci-e to molex connector will only snap into place by leaving the 2 parallel pins nearest the back of the card free. It literally will only connect one way so you shouldn't have a problem.

So how much faster would one of these be compared to a 3650 DDR3 version? Might get one for my brother if they're a decent amount faster, as he'd like to play a few more games with a bit more pop at 1680x1050. Anyone happen to know?
Edit - never mind, found a review that rated this about 50% faster than the 2600XT. Seeing as this was slightly faster than a 3650 DDR3 this should be a nice little upgrade for my brother for £30 inc. He has the PSU IIRC so should be ok, rest of his system isn't overclocked so he should have about enough power for this.

should be the sameish

Should be fine for that. A lot of programmes are software only anyway.

right max i *** get out of this card is 833/2000, runs games, 3dmark06 stable
39% overclock on core and 25%overclock on memory.
Recommended!
Was that using ATI Overdrive or something else?

A lot of video playback programmes don't employ hardware acceleration, some do, some don't. Might be worth reading up on whether the programmes you use will accept hardware acceleration or are purely software rendering
I could be wrong but this was correct last time I looked into it, WMP has only really been stably using limited hardware acceleration since recently! Remember when it was horribly unstable and half the NV drivers caused green screens for example

Shouldn't be an issue at all for those, youtube HD is in reference to standard youtube and isn't actually true hd, its just clearer video (think mpeg to divx) with better sound. I don't know Vimeo so can't comment there. A reasonable machine shouldn't have an issue.

Good cpu, and a decent codec pack Well if running outside of internet sites anyway

This product does have the best product description on the website.

Hope he managed to get one in time, the last few have just been snapped up!
End of a smashing deal, will be seeing if I can get something else in the new year as old cards at bargain prices are generally great value for money.

Given that the 2900GT when originally released (in 512mb format) was barely faster than a X1950pro (could have been XT I can't remember) a 8800GTS 320mb (as long as it doesn't run out of Video memory) would be a much better buy (judt don't pay more than ~£40 for one).
