This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Passive cooler, DX9 graphics with 128MB RAM (for Vista/Aero requirements).

Cons: None for my needs.

Other Thoughts: I was looking for a dirt cheap PCIe video card and managed to stumble upon this, brand new and retail at that. Just needed one so I could set up my old AMD Opteron 165 rig up as a terminal/file server. Can't rate this low for 3D capability because I will never use it for that. It doesn't get too warm and the cooler is passive so it doesn't add to noise. Surprised to see this back in stock at NewEgg but I gotta thank them for it and the price!

If you just need a budget PCIe video card with great 2D quality and some 3D capability then I highly recommend this.
