It would be ok, but I would recommend this one it only costs a little bit more,

Nah, that ain't such a great card. For a lower price, this (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125019) would perform much better. How much is your budget though? And what are you going to use the card for?

The X1650PRO should do fine then.

Bought the X1650PRO and fitted it today

After a few problems (blue screen of death etc!!) got it working

Only thing now is everything on the screen look so small

All my desktop icons are smaller, and even web pages only fill about 3/4 of the screen width

I have tried messing with the resolution but none of them look right (distorted or too big)

Any ideas??

Try changing the refresh rate. A very high refresh rate can do this.
