Very good card!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: The price! Only $20, PCI, completely worth it.

It can play Crysis Warhead at 1920x1080 max settings at a perfect 60FPS! WoW runs at 320FPS max setting in Ironforge! And I'm only using an Intel 486! Just WOW!!!
Cons: None!
Other Thoughts: Great job!!

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Good picture, runs cool with fan. Runs most games well. Wow runs at up to 30-40 fps. Not bad for the price you pay.
Cons: Some high demanding games have problems, but a casual gamer should be fine.

The video playback had all the settings cranked. Way too bright, when reset, will run good as long as you keep the settings window open. When I closed the settings window all the video settings went back to the max. restarts, uninstalling and reinstalling didnt help. I had to roll back the driver to an earlier version and the problem was fixed. NVidia drivers are easy to find.
Other Thoughts: A great card for a secondary monitor or casual use. Especially for the price. Would have been 5 eggs if not for the video problem.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Plays a good selection of games, but when pushed to high graphics on some games, it has problems. Not that big, low power consumption, and PCI (who doesnt have an extra PCI slot?)
Cons: Couldnt play Battlefield 2 on anything over low as far as lighting and texture goes which was a bummer for me.
Other Thoughts: Very quiet fan and extremely easy to set up, i would recommend this to anyone building a computer that needs "good enough" graphics.
