The Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory Video Card from PowerColor

On Figures 2 and 3 you can check Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory from PowerColor. As you can see, this video card uses a active heatsink (i.e., with a fan).

This video card uses four DDR 256-Mbit 5 ns chips from Mosel Vitelic (MVC) (V58C2256164SBT5)to give it 128 MB of video memory (256 Mbits x 4 = 128 MB). These chips can run up to 400 MHz. Since this video card accesses the memory at 400 MHz there is no room for memory overclocking inside the memory’s specifications. But of course you can try overclock it over its specs.

The board comes with some cables (one RCA for composit video, one S-Video and one S-Video/composite video converter) and an I/O bracket for installing this video card inside a low profile chassis. If you pay close attention in Figure 2, its VGA plug is detachable, so it is easy to remove it in order to reduce the size of the card back panel.

This board also comes with CyberLink DVD Solution, which is a suite full of DVD-related software, like PowerDirector, PowerDVD and PowerProducer.
