Pros: Works great for older computers, my wife's younger brother uses this card and he has little to no lag for an older machine.

Cons: Needs a bigger power supply then most stock computers, and power supply doesnt fit well in older cases needed to cut case a little.

Good card for the money

Pros: Looks just as it does in that picture, huge heatsink and fan that has plenty of fin space to cool the card without being extremly loud, or probably getting clogged up down the road.

Cons: I've never liked ATI's software

Other Thoughts: For the money it seems to be a really good card to help limp along a AGP only motherboard. It requires its own 4pin mini power cable like what a floppy drive would use. Has good image on my 42" 1080p flatscreen as my last card had issues with the refresh rate at that rez.

I've always been an nVidia fan but their AGP cards on here were more expensive for less features/ratings when compared.

Pros: Runs pretty quite, fast, and good for old computers. Price and shipping was amazing.

Cons: The fan which is attached to the card is pretty big, which makes it hard for people to put onto their motherboard if they are using a mini-motherboard.
