    #1 If you're a gamer then the answer is none. But then a gamer would never click on a link for a HD 3650 card so the point is moot.
    This would make a good card for a HTPC at high res.

    bought one for my HTPC at 1920X1080 running 24/7 with cameras recording for sick rodeo cowboy like #1. I bet he goes all in in texas holdem on 10 to 1 draws too. Because he doesn't have a clue.

    Pretty good reviews for what it is. Possible improvement over on-board graphics.

    Yep what #2 & 4 said, #1 what's the down side?

    Its' been this price a lot and yes provides good bump in 3d performance (I didn't say gaming) over older IGS. Take into account its' low power consumption (no PSU upgrade), while provides good memory bandwidth due the 128-Bit interface. This is par with 9500GT DD2 offering how many of those are $20? The downside with this is the fan/cooler is passable at best, not a solution for a 24/7 machine. Check the History there's a ton of post regarding this card.

    Zelman doesn't show this will fit a 3650, but I'm sure if there's a will there's a way. Wink
    This FS-V7 2-Ball VGA Cooler is all copper, red led fan, a speed control harness, and memory H/S's... for $10.49; although $7 for shipping.
    It might be worth trimming fins or whatever to get it to fit. Honestly I bet it would bolt right up and permit you to get this OC'd to 750Mhz+ without an issue. And still run cool... while that all red scheme would look hot!

    Then again if you don't care that you won't get 7.1 HD Audio output over the HDMI port/cable... (In the case of this 3650 you'll need source the proper DVI/HDMI adapter.)
    Skip all that above and get this 9500GT w/ DDR3 for basically the same price and $5 more of a rebate, but Gigabyte rebates do come... just got one from end of Aug!

    It's a sure bet on an ever slightly better performance card. Although, the other has the whole custom *bling* factor going for it.
