Can't say much for PowerColor, but Newegg rocks
- Pros: Great price, decent specs, probably great if the drivers worked. If you're looking to upgrade your computer for Vista/7 Aero, this card is powerful enough.
- Cons: Absolutely could not get the drivers to work. Finally thought I had it; computer booted, ran all choppy for about 10 seconds, shut down when I tried to move a window. Next boot was a bit better: 30 seconds. Then got it going for about 10 minutes, still all choppy, then another BSoD. In defense of PowerColor, I was attempting to install it on a computer running a beta version of Windows Server 2008 R2 (same family as Windows 7).
- Other Thoughts: Jeesh, Newegg is just too darn good. At the time of purchase, the item had a replacement-only return policy. Yet, after I explained the situation to a Newegg support rep, I was able to exchange for a different card without question. No waiting on hold, no arguing, no pointless troubleshooting. This is why I always send my customers to Newegg. Proud to say my house is about 10% wood and 90% Newegg.
Alright until it fries
- Pros: For an old AGP card, this wasn't too bad. It played many older games wonderfully. It also handled many intensive applications well.
- Cons: 1. New games are a pretty much guaranteed no-go with this card. 2. This card, like my x1600 pro, decided to randomly die one day, out of the blue. 3. Let's not forget all the driver issues, either. 4. Also just like my x1600, this card enjoyed BSODing my computer and causing a whole outrageous list of problems and lock-ups.
Infinitely many more cons than pros with this card. Be ready to replace within months.
- Other Thoughts: I got it for a pretty low price, I must say that. At the time I bought the card I was desperately seeking a replacement for my newly-fried x1600 Pro. What I found was perhaps an even worse card than the prior one. Instead of buying another AGP card for my moderately good system, I'm scrapping the whole stinking thing and I've already got a new system on its way to my house.
Newegg's service has been great, I have no beef with them. This is just a lousy card.

New Life to an old PC
- Pros: Great board for a good price. Runs like a champ. I put this in an old P4 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM machine running Windows 7 RC.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: This board was overkill for my machine, but it was only a few $ more than the other AGP video cards.
