3DVelocity wish to thank Liz at Crucial
in the UK and Rae at Pathway
PR for providing these cards for review.
Part Three: The Retail Bundle
Don't expect to be impressed here;
if out of date games and price increasing software
is your expectation you will be disappointed. Crucial
have provided everything you need without adding unnecessary
extras. A wise choice as their card seems to be great
value...
Yes, this is the box. White, small and containing
very well packaged contents. No sign of beasts, trucks,
skulls and the like... thank goodness!
It's minimal but that's actually a good thing.
Everything you need is here and cost is keep to a
minimum.
It is refreshing to see
a company worry little about box art. The box serves
its purpose and protects the items very well indeed.
All the usual cables are included alongside the ever-useful
DVI adapter. Paired with the driver CDROM, Crucial
have opted for PowerDVD, a great software player,
to show off the Radeon's excellent DVD playback. From
a personal standpoint, I prefer WinDVD for ATi cards
but it really is only a personal choice based mainly
on interface. Overall it's a useful and practical
package from Crucial.
