Pros: This is a definite improvement over onboard graphics for those who don't want a total overhaul or a new build. It's low on wattage, runs on a 300W PSU even. Single slot. HDMI out, VGA and DVI for maximum compatibility. Comes with overclocking utilities to squeeze a few extra FPS out when you DO get that new computer and are waiting on the video card. By now the drivers are fairly stable. 512MB is a nice amount for a budget card like this.
Cons: The overclocking is very, very limited (it's a budget card.) No competition for the GeForce 250 series and higher.
It specifies 1GHz RAM. True speeds are 750MHz core/873MHz mem Maximum RAM speed is 980MHz.
Other Thoughts: Used an old Compaq system (mostly prebuilt) with a Bestec 300W power supply. 19A on the +12v rail. AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Venice) (220MHzx11=2.42GHz) 1GB (2x512MB) DDR-400 @ 220MHz 3-3-3-8 2 IDE (PATA) HDDs 1 SATA HDD (Western Digital Caviar Black 750GB) 1 IDE DVD+RW Drive lots and lots of USB devices, including webcam, wireless-internet-USB adapter, iPod, printer, wireless keyboard/mouse Generic 300W PSU (Bestec) and this card
Fallout 3 and Oblivion are fully playable at the highest detail settings (1280x1024, HDR Ultra High)
Team Fortress 2 fully playable at highest detail settings.
Counter-Strike Source: about 100-200FPS
This card is not a replacement for a weak CPU. In nearly all my games I experience micro-stutters when I move around, but just looking around I get amazing FPS. This indicates a CPU fault.
Ultimately, if you're over three months away from a new build, this card will make a huge improvement over onboard graphics.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very cheap. Got it for $70 including shipping. Doesn't need any power connectors. Pretty quiet. I dont get why people say it's so loud.. when i put the fan on 100% the sound from the game makes it hard to hear the fan noise. my integrated graphics bottle necked my computer but ever since i got this card, i could play left 4 dead on highest settings with 1600x900 resolution and get about 70-100+ fps and i could also run crysis on high on 1024x768 and get about 30-40 fps. i could run it on very high and i get around 20 fps.
Cons: none so far (:
Other Thoughts: my specs are..

suprising performance

Tech Level: average - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: cheap!!! low power requirement! can run most current games at modest resolutions (1024*728//1280*1024)
Cons: not exactly a card for the "enthusiast"
Other Thoughts: i bought this for my dell pentium d. build a year ago. i didnt realize its full capabilities until i assembled a new computer. im now running it with a phenom ii x 3 720 CPU and i have got a 20% increase in most games. for a $70 card this is perfect for most current games if you play in a lower resolution. if you set on 1680 and higher look elsewhere.
