The MSI Radeon HD 3650 (about US$100) is a graphics card that features:
- ATI RV635 CPU
- 55nm technology
- 725 MHz Core frequency
- 725 MHz Shader frequency
- 128 bit GDDR3 memory subsystem
- 1600 MHz Memory frequency
- 256 MB memory
- PCI Express 2.0 interface
- Shader Model 4.1
- Crossfire Multi-GPU support
"Generally speaking, the ATI Radeon HD 3650 is a variation of the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with certain architectural improvements but it is unclear why the developer decided to lower the clock rates. The Radeon HD 2600 XT was not fast even with GDDR4 memory and the ATI Radeon HD 3650 turns out to be even slower. Yes, it costs a mere $99 (for the GDDR3 version) but we don't see a proper application for it. This card cannot interest gamers and seems to be targeted at the multimedia market where its popularity will depend on the accessories included with it by the particular graphics card vendor."

If you are building a non-gaming rig, the MSI Radeon HD 3650 will fit right at home with its low power consumption and silent cooler.
