Well, it's a perfectly serviceable system. For something.

it's going to be fast for early 2000 games and older, a little on the low end side for 2007 games but still runs plenty of things OK.
but it's cool that it's a custom build left as it was back then 😀

if you have access to compressed air it will take you like 30 seconds to make it look clean.

You can't do much on X1550. It barely can play games like Far Cry or Doom 3, being only slightly better than GeForce 6200.

I think it's a bit faster than that, it's like a 4 ROPs card like the 6200 but it's a good bit faster for pixel shader performance I think, and it's more likely to be 128bits I think...
sure it's kind of bad, but I remember playing gears of war in one! don't think the 6200 can dream of handling a SM3.0 game that well;

My guess is OP simply doesn't have enough faster graphics cards to go around.

OP said it's one of his builds from back then and it's as it was put away years ago. If you look at the photo from the inside, there is plenty of dust, it's not a freshly built rig.

Yes and the lack of faster graphics cards may be the reason why he hasn't upgraded it yet 😋.
Yes, dust and cobwebs 😋

Facts: GeForce 6600 > Radeon X1550. And most X1550 cards were 64-bit DDR2.
