That being said, there's only 1 X1650 in stock from about 20 or so from yesterday and I don't believe they are getting any more in the near future.
The X1650 will be marginally faster, but its old tech, the 3450 is atleast DX10 and made for HD movies really, if like Bluepiglet said you can manage a few more pennies for the 3560 I can vouch for that being quite a punchy little card since I CAINED mine to death for a year, then sold it for 40 quid to my mate

2400 =/= 3450 and 512MB is not always better then 256MB.

But another thing is the 4350 is $5 more then the 3450(in the US) have you looked at the 4350 yet?

Just having Direct X10 "capability" doesn't mean the card has enough power to utilize it

The 2400PRO and the 3450 have the same architecture
The only difference is 65nm vs 55nm
