from ATI: RADEON™ 7500 is both a powerful and versatile graphic solution. 64MB of DDR memory along with the advanced RADEON™ 7500 GPU provides high performance acceleration for the latest demanding 3D games and applications. In addition to the high performance 3D acceleration, RADEON™ 7500 provides industry leading DVD playback, support for dual independent displays, TV Out, and support for digital flat panel monitors (DVI-I) addressing the needs of a wide range of home and business graphic users.

I've had the pleasure of owning many fine video cards in the past 7-8 years and watching how they get better and better. In fact so good I wonder how much better they can get. My first real venture into a 3D card was with an ATI 2mb card, the infamous 3DFX Voodoo Rush card and then onto the 3DFX Voodoo II 12 mb but with no 2D support. Then on to the Voodoo 3 and finally to an ATI 64mb Vivo. And thanks to ATI I now have the Radeon 7500 and I am impressed.

The ATI Radeon 7500 64mb DDR isn't ATI's top of the line and is instead meant to be more of a mid-level solution for those who are not huge gamers but still like to game. Other benefits of this video card is the option to use dual monitors, flat panel support, hardware DVD decoding(no add-on DVD decoding card needed), TV out capability while still providing a GPU with high performance acceleration for the latest demanding 3D games and applications.
