Says it's an option for legacy systems for some reason

This is one of those product releases that will leave the tech-savvy somewhat mortified, but it's not the first time we run into an entry-level video board with 2 GB of DDR3 memory.

On the flip side, we can safely say that this is one of, if not the only PCI Express x1 card we heard referred to as an option for legacy systems.

Last we heard, ISA, VL BUS and VGA were what qualified as legacy video interfaces, but maybe that's just us.

Anyway, the HIS Radeon HD 6450 has 160 stream processors, a 64-bit memory bus and clocks of 635 MHz for the GPU and 1,000 MHz for the RAM.

D-Sub, dual-DVI and DisplayPort connectors are present, along with the ATI Eyefinity Technology (multi-monitor setups).

Alas, the price wasn't even hinted at.
