Cheap - What else did you expect
Pros: Got away from using onboard graphics. Slightly higher FPS on various games and apps.
Cons: Cheap packaging, no biggie. The driver that it shipped with didn't work, inconvinent. Finding the right driver to show 3D texture in World of Warcraft was the challenge, but Forceware 175.xx drivers did the trick, running stable.
Other Thoughts: Buyer beware.

Not good.
Pros: Can't think of one.
Cons: Ever since I installed this Video Card I've had nothing but problems. I've had the OS reboot a number of times for no reason, and the screen go black for a few seconds many times. The unit is going t be returned.

meh
Pros: works for basic computing
Cons: might as well be integrated graphics. I felt dirty spending $40 on this, but if all you have is agp overpaying is your only option.
attn newegg: start carrying more cheap agp options.
My sound card has more balls than this video card.
Other Thoughts: got this for my parent's old old old computer that only has APG 4x. Works well enough but thats just because they don't use their computer for anything more than word processing and solitair.

Great Cheap Card For a Old System (Dell GX260)
Pros: I got this card for my Dell GX260 Low Profile machine. To be honest, I didn't really expect too much from it, being about a 4 year old card. But, it really blew me away. It is really quick in Ubuntu 9.04, and allows all Compiz Fusion effects. I'd assume good performance in any Windows box as well.
Also comes with a free low profile kit if you need one, as of today 9/23/09.
Cons: Not really a con, but it is AGP.
Other Thoughts: The power supply in my computer is only 180W and this thing is running fine. I have no add-on cards or anything, though.
Haven't really tested any really strenuous 3D programs yet. If I do, I will update.

A good buy!
Pros: Installed this card in my girlfriend's PC which is running on an old EliteGroup K7S5A Pro V5 board. With a RAM upgrade to 1gb, she can play her high graphic PC games (e.g. Shockwave games , The Sims 3, etc). For a VGA card, its a great buy!
Cons: None thus far.
Other Thoughts: For $50, its a great VGA card. It supports Pixel Shader 2.0 which is great for games like the Sims 3. a really good buy!

Basics for Windows Aero
Pros: It runs Windows Aero at 1920x1080/1200 It isn't intergrated Passive cooling - and relatively cool at that (~125F in a case with good cooling) Cheap?
Cons: Not good for too much else above basic use No HD Video support Cheap? Well it IS AGP after all, but still...
Other Thoughts: Anything is better than intergrated graphics right? Right. I only got the card so I could use Aero, and that's as much as I tested with it. Windows would sometimes say to lower the resolution to improve desktop performance, but only whenever I had a lot of windows open. It at least has VGA/DVI/S-Video for you

Works on Most G3 and G4 Macs.
Pros: A quality product that offers silent cooling. Can be easily converted to work on Apple Power PC equipped Power Macs and Mac Mini. Search the web for more info on this topic. Performance is great, especially if you avoid hogging the processor power running dashboard Widgets in the background.
Cons: This is not a gaming card. Runs Leopard graphics duties just fine and does a decent job on video programs like Google Earth.
Other Thoughts: This is probably the last readily available AGP video cards that you can purchase new for under $200.00 that will run on most Power PC G3 and G4 Macs. It can be easily reflashed for Macs and provides both Quartz Extreme and Core Image Support in OSX 10.5 Leopard. Grab it while you can.

Easy install
Pros: easy to install. came with a driver cd. includes a s-vhs cable. the graphics look pretty good and makes the movies I watch look even better.
Cons: driver on the cd is old but can be easily downloaded from the xfx website(latest release is March 2009). I wish the s-vhs cable was longer so my computer does not have to be right next to the tv but I can always pick up a longer cable.
Other Thoughts: This was my first purchase from newegg and I was upgrading a Dell Optiplex GX270 that is about 5 years old. It did not have any video card, only onboard video. The installation was easy and the only thing to remember is changing the AGP video option in the BIOS from onboard to Automatic so it uses the video card. Make sure you get the latest driver from XFX website after you register it. I had a good purchase and will consider newegg in the future.

Other Thoughts: I would recommend it

does what it's supposed to do
Pros: i'm using this card in a box i put together for media center use. it's quiet and does the job.
Cons: it didn't wash my dishes
Other Thoughts: i'm using this in an older spec system with agp. (socket A) needed something with a TV out and i wanted at least a directx 9 card. serves it's purpose.

Great upgrade for older systems!
Pros: Bought this to upgrade my old P4 Northwood system. Works great with a 1680x1050 monitor over DVI. (I am not a gamer though) Nice that no fan is needed.
Cons: No problems so far. I guess it would be nice if it was cheaper! :)
Other Thoughts: As others have mentioned, make sure you register immediately on the XFX website so you are eligible for the lifetime warranty.

Amazing
Pros: I got this as a replacement card for an older computer where the fan had given out. This is the a great replacement for a quiet solution.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Good for making that older computer even that much better.

Slow
Pros: There are no PROS when the card is slow.
Cons: Installed card, loaded latest drivers from support site yet the card is slower than my original ATI Alli-In-Wonder 9800. Playing an older game, C&C Generals is like watching a stop action movie.

Difficult Installation - Card Failed After 3 Months
Pros: Good looking video when it works. Quick shipping and great customer service from Newegg as usual.
Cons: Difficult installation. Disabling antivirus software insufficient. Had to remove antivirus software, install video card drivers, and reinstall antivirus software. Both analogue & digital output on card stopped working after three months. Don't know if removing the card and drivers and antivirus software and reinstalling it all again will fix the problem or not. I'm MCSE & CNE certified and I work on hardware all day long. A video card shouldn't be this much trouble. I've already spent about 4 hours installing the card and I'm not willing to spend another couple hours trying to figure this problem out. Removed the card and am now looking for another one.

Great Card, relatively inexpensive
Pros: Easy to install; works great for general use and then some.
Cons: Probably not the best choice for hardcore gaming, but if that's what you want, you're probably not looking at this card anyway.

Decent AGP Card - Runs Inventor
Pros: Installed easily, and drivers on the disk worked even with Windows 7 Beta. Makes good detail and is able to run Autodesk Inventor with full hardware acceleration. Not sure about gaming, because I'm not a gamer. Good card if you have older hardware and need a little boost in graphics ability.
Cons: Does NOT support direct X 10. Probably a big deal if you are a gamer, but for CAD work direct X 9 is just fine.
Other Thoughts: The low profile adapter is kind of cool if you have an application for it, but for most users it isn't really needed.

Great card
Pros: Easy to install, worked great right away. I have a five year old system and it's still keeping up with my new dual core (with onboard graphics chips) with this video card. I play alot of games, not bad for 256mb.
Cons: AGP cards seem to cost more for an older technology, I don't have a PCI-e x16.
Other Thoughts: Shop around, then come back to newegg!

Works, but not with Linux
Pros: Works fine under Windows XP, no fan to seize up and burn out card.
Cons: Not compatible with Linux (Mythbuntu 8.10 & 8.04 tried), XFX's website requires you to create an account AND register your card before granting ANY access to support resources.
Other Thoughts: Bought the card for a Linux system I'm building (Mythbuntu 8.10), but it doesn't work when the proprietary NVidia Linux drivers are installed...computer crashes with a black screen. A different NVidia card worked great, so it's something specific to this card. Also, having to create an account AND register a card to gain access to XFX's support resources for the card is bogus...seems like a way to extort paying users for personal info that XFX can sell to "interested parties".

GeForce 6200
Pros: Works great, gives my several year old Compaq Sempron 3100 the ability to go wide screen and full resolution (1680 x 1050) via the DVI input of my Samsung 20" LCD. No fan - no problem, temperature monitor feature shows temp below 60C. Box says minimum power supply 250W not 300W as per Newegg, which is good since 250W is what I have. Automatically took over the internal video card, which the bios listed options are internal/agp and pci so I didn't have to change the bios. Like the fact I can run two monitors, haven't yet but it's giving me ideas...
Cons: Hook up to the VGA (D-sub) first, not the DVI as the VGA is apparently the default output. That took me awhile to figure out. Then set up the output options... then configure your monitor. That took me awhile to figure out too. Better instructions may be? Worth the effort to work out though.
Other Thoughts: For you overclockers, the docs go through it with you. Lots of features, will enjoy this for casual computing and internet use.

Died in less than 1 yr, beware of warranty
Pros: Reasonable price AGP card. If it lasted would have been a slight upgrade from integrated graphics.
Cons: Died in less than 1 year. XFX WARRANTY IS ONLY VALID IF YOU REGISTER AT PURCHASE
Other Thoughts: Will never buy XFX products again

What I expected
Pros: Its a good overall card. Gave nothing less then what I expected performance wise. It benchmarked good and runs some of my games (such as WoW) at my monitors native 1680x1050 resolution with a decent fps. After getting a samsung syncmaster T220, I needed a new-ish graphics card to replace my old ati radeon and this Geforce 6200 did the job on a tight budget.
Cons: Note that this chipset is technically a bad chipset, and this card can not be overclocked by much.
Other Thoughts: Shipment was a few days late, it was supposed to arrive on christmas eve. However this is attributed to weather related issues (south-island got 3 feet of snow x.x) and the shipping was free so I don't got much to complain about.

no Low Profile bracket
Pros: Nice looking card, maybe someday I can use it.
Cons: Card may be ok, cant use, didnt come with the low p bracket as stated, didnt understand it had to be ordered as a combo, so it will stay in box. Useless to me.
Other Thoughts: Need to clarify better how to order to help eliminate this from happening to someone else.

Overall, good card
Pros: Good card. Using two AOC 22inch LCD monitors on this..Comes with a DVI adapter for VGA..thats good. If your gaming, DO NOT use this card. This card is only for every-day use, NOT gaming... Looks great.. great color, great contrast.
Cons: NO DVI port, unfortuantly..considering most new LCD's come primarily with DVI.

trouble with NVidia
Pros: The card works
Cons: ... not as well as I anticipated... and after a full reinstall of Windows, from a pretty vanilla build to begin with.
Other Thoughts: I've had problems with NVidia display adapters since 2000, and this is no exception. I prefer ATI cards for ease of use, performance, and price. I'll continue to use this NVidia card until it dies... which I expect to be within a year, maybe 2.

Does What I Want
Pros: Excellent card for what I wanted. Went into my old media server. Reason for this was I was moving out media server into the bedroom to have some HTPC capabilities in there as well. Does everything I want and since there is no fan, it's nice and quiet too for bedtime.
Cons: none... yet.
Other Thoughts: Great card if you are just trying to get HD out to an HDTV that does HDMI. Won't play HD content (720o) on my box without a ton of skipping but I blame that more on my processor than the card. Excellent card for the money and I now have access to all my music, movies, and TV shows in the bedroom.

Good solid card.
Pros: Excellent upgrade, it was placed in my main PC. Replaced my ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb, there's wasn't a huge difference between the two, mainly the ram is able to handle more. Radeon got moved to another PC.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Haven't OC'd it yet so not sure about that aspect. It runs everything so smoothly I haven't felt the need to OC it.

Pros: Low cost, availability, plug & play install.
Cons: none so far
Other Thoughts: Bought to upgrade my 7 yr old Dell Dimension 4300. I upgraded to a widescreen LCD monitor a month prior and the OE video card didn't support the proper resolution. Found a few hacks online that might work but given the reasonable cost, decided a new card would be the most robust solution. This card did the trick and upgraded to DVI connection.

Meets claims, works well
Pros: *Bought as a gift for a younger sibling. He games a bit and like this card as an inexpensive add on. *It still works and he's had it for 6 months!
Cons: Occasional glitches on some games, but it could be the games.
Other Thoughts: *This card was bought as an upgrade, not as a gamer purist's GPU.

Decent Value
Pros: quiet, easy install, decent improvement
Cons: no fan, runs a bit warmer than I'd like, not as drastic an improvement as I thought it would be coming from a 64MB AGP card. Drivers were a PITA to download from the XFX website.
Other Thoughts: I bought this card to revive my old Compaq SR 1135CL desktop. It definitely did that and for the price It's a decent value. I won't say it's great but it did speed up Command and Conquer: Generals quite nicely.

Great video card!!
Pros: I've been using this card, with some slight changes, on a Apple G4 Cube for 8-10 months. This card has allowed me to run Leopard extremely well with 1.25GB of RAM and the original 450mhz processor. It is an extremely small and cool running card (you'll want to have a fan running in your machine though).
Cons: Nothing to do with the product, but having to modify the bracket to fit in the cube was not so fun.
Other Thoughts: Great card at a very reasonable price. Not to mention the double lifetime warranty.

A Toyota Hi Lux
Pros: *Ran every game that I threw at it. (My main bottlenecks were always the CPU, bus, and memory) *Compiz-Fusion runs nicely. *Slimline. *Runs Aero nicely.
Cons: Too quiet?
Other Thoughts: I passed it on to my dad, as I had to upgrade to a PCIe system. This is its fourth computer since my buying it on 8/27/2005!

great card for a old tech
Pros: Price, Size, silent set up, good chipset for a old technology
Cons: none so far
Other Thoughts: I took an old Dell Demension 8300 and turned it into a HTPC. The gpu in it was dead, but this card is great for the dvi to connect via dvi -> hdmi cable to the tv.

Good
Pros: Does what i need it to do perfectly, and it comes with a s-video cable.
Cons: cheap dated tech...
Other Thoughts: its a good cheap solution for anyone who isn't going to be playing the latest games in the market. Also it's fanless design means it makes no sound :D

Great card
Pros: A very cost effective option to upgrade inbuilt graphics solution. Runs a few games without any issue, albeit not at highest settings. Good driver support for Nvidia cards - heard all kind of horror stories for ATI cards for AGP. Recommend to anyone that wants to upgrade an AGP computer for watching movies, playing a few games like WoW.
Cons: Not all that many - definitely not a good amount of fps. I run average about 30fps on WoW with 1 GB RAM.
Other Thoughts: I have encountered couple crashes - but not sure if it is due to this card. I used the drivers provided in the CD - I have not tried to download the latest ones from website. Again, it has been about two weeks now without crashes - so can't really say what caused it.

awesome card!
Pros: very good card to run WoW runs great with most video settings to upper-high. other games work great also
Cons: the card is very challenging to overclock and then reset to stock. some glitches with new firmware, (175.19) WoW also glitches occasionally with older firmware
Other Thoughts: great card, but dont plan on changing the clocking more than once, newest drivers are a MUST

Works in a Macintosh!
Pros: Silent, supports VGA and DVI, performance close to that of the popular Radeon 9600. Very popular card for Macintosh systems. Supports many features in both Windows and Mac OS X.
Cons: Uhhh... It doesn't include a low-profile bracket? These things will probably sell out before they get much cheaper.
Other Thoughts: Works great in my 'Sawtooth' G4 400MHz. Works with Quartz Extreme and Core Image. Google for the firmware and instructions. I purchased one of these elsewhere for about 25% less.

Never buy G-force card again.
Pros: Unit worked great for a year and a half.
Cons: Then it just crapped out on us last night.
Other Thoughts: Make sure you register your card with the manufacturer's site withing 30 days of purchase. Otherwise you only get a 1 yeay warranty, NOT LIFETIME as advertised. When I bought mine there was nothing telling you to do this and now I'm out of luck. Stick with ATI products and never have a problem. I've put over 30 ATI cards in the computers I've built and only had one go bad. This was my first G-force card and it failed within 2 years.

Awesome
Pros: Low profile, looks sweet with the black finish, great overclocking ability (I believe I got it to 650Mx on the core, 1.03GHz on the RAM)
Cons: Runs kinda hot when overclocked (not surprising). I took the fan off of the CPU heatsink on an old IBM PC I had lying around and stuck it on. Works perfectly. Keeps it at a cool 28 C.
Other Thoughts: One other problem I had with this card, was that after overclocking, if you wanted to bring it back to stock settings, it would ocaisionally make the screen go all crazy. The only thing I'd suggest for anyone who's going to OC this card, is to be sure that you want it running where it's at once you've OC'd it. It's not a problem if you want to drop the speed of the core/RAM a few MHz, just don't go back to stock settings. Especially if you set it to OC every time windows starts up. When I did that, I had to completely un-install everything Nvidia related, and then re-install the card.
I had this running on a Foxconn 661MXPlus motherboard, Intel Celeron 2GHz, and 2 512MB sticks of Kingston HyperX. The motherboard started having problems after a while anyway, so it could've been that.

AGP ain`t quite dead yet...
Pros: I didn`t buy this card from `Egg because I got a smokin` deal on it on that infamous online auction site. Even at Newegg`s price, this is a very nice card for the money, and it does everything I need it to. The graphics are far better than the weak-suck VIA K8M800 GPU on my socket 754 FIC board.
Cons: None really, unless you consider using an AGP-based system a con (I don`t).
Other Thoughts: I`m not a gamer, so I don`t hold video cards to the high standard that they do. I AM somewhat of a fanboy of the older socket 939 & 754 AMD hardware, so having to buy and use AGP cards is often a necessity...which is fine by me as long as the card is capable of at least a 1360x768 screen resolution. This card, as well as the lesser 5200 cards are enough to get me by. The good old days of the 939 & 754 are still here as far as I`m concerned.

Good value for the money
Pros: Low price, ease of installation.
Cons: None that I have noticed yet.
Other Thoughts: Bought to replace a dying, older AGP card in my secondary PC, to play WoW on my 2nd account, and made a significant improvement in framerate over the old card. Don't expect it to run modern games, but it runs WoW acceptably.

Great Card!
Pros: Replaced MX400 on a Dell 4600C w/ this card. Used to run WoW on low settings with a screen resolution of 1440x900. Now it runs on high settings with and increased 5-10 frames. Amazing picture!
Cons: Won't fit completely inside case (see Other Thoughts).
Other Thoughts: Left case open because card wont fit completely unless I cut off VGA input. I knew that would be the case when I bought the card so I'm not gonna knock it down an egg.
Manufacturer Response:If you have a low profile system you will need the low profile bracket aka "Low Profile Kit" that can be found at Newegg as well. If you have any questions please email me at Neweggsupport@xfxforce.com.

good stuff
Pros: This is a great little card. I bought one to throw in a PC I built for my girlfriend. Can handle whatever "kids game" she throws on for her daughter... plus it can even handle a few of the games I like to play. This was the first time I went with a fanless gpu, and Im pleased with the result. This card is a keeper
Cons: I cant say that there is anything I found disappointing about this card.
Maybe the fact that it is not an 8800gt for the same price? heh

solid card
Pros: Great card, took a big load off my 2.1 Athlon Barton when running my HD tuner card. Can run in a low profile case. Fanless.
Cons: Had to reinstall the drivers when I took it out, then put it back in. No biggie, up and running again.

Run Vista Aero for Cheap
Pros: I own 3 of these cards and have been using them for over 2 years. I bought them to upgrade 3 older machines using AGP to allow them to run Aero. It's just about the cheapest card you can that runs Aero. It can also do some very basic gaming. Nearly all modern games run on this. I played Call of Duty 4 on this card with settings on minimum and it worked OK.
Cons: None. Has been working great for 2+ years.

Pros: Great graphics card for the price--was lagging on Call of Duty on all low before. Popped it in--automatically maxed out all detail. Great for playing games!
Cons: It might be hard fitting it in with a smaller case. It's not really that great for new games out there (will play BF2 and SWBF2 all on low). Its not SLI compatable.
Other Thoughts: Great for older computers. I love it.

Super card for low profile cases
Pros: Super card, very fast and nice clean graphics. Definitely worth the money!
Cons: none that I can see
Other Thoughts: May require some metal work if you have a very small case, like a Dell Optiplex GX270. Had to cut the top part of the bracket off in order for it to fit that Dell, but then I knew that may have to happen going in to the purchase, hence why it's not a con.

For the price, it's great
Pros: The card does exactly what it was intended to do. I put it in my parents' computer so my mom can use two monitors for when she does her business stuffs from home.
Cons: It didn't taste as good as a cookie.
Other Thoughts: If you need a cheap card for an old computer so you can use two monitors, this is the way to go.

very pleased
Pros: This thing doesn't make a peep! It's more than enough for everyday use and doesn't take up a lot of space in your case. Very smooth video and gaming. Very easy installation. There isn't a more practical choice I think. Put this in a pre-2005 box and watch it fly. Works fantastically in linux/beryl too.
Cons: It'll probably outlive me.
Other Thoughts: Don't forget the mail-in rebate! Common sense: Have a fan in your case if you live in a sauna and you're playing Doom 3 on high settings. Otherwise, it doesn't get too hot so you should be fine. Get the newest drivers from nVidia.

Perfect card for the average computer user.
Pros: It just works great.
Cons: Not fast enough for current games, though I'm sure it can play games pre-2004 without a hitch.
Other Thoughts: I actually used this card to use in a Macintosh G4 Tower. While not compatible out of the box, this specific model can be flashed to use on a Mac. It worked perfectly and I am actually using it in Mac OS X Tiger! As always, newegg provides great service.

Card Fine, Rebate Not....
Pros: I bought this card as a spare as I hve six systems. One never knows and I do not want to wait around for one if need be. Tested Ran Fine ....but I am not a gamer
Cons: XFX skipped out on the ten dollar rebate as the y state I never sent the serial number or receipt ... I have a copy but did not get it back to them by their very short deadline.
Other Thoughts: Ther are other good cards to buy ... but XFX have lost a customer.

GLITCHY!
Pros: It was cheap and I could save my old a7n8x deluxe with this agp8x card for counter strike.
Cons: Glitchy! I installed and uninstalled the drivers for this card and it hangs all the time in cs.
Other Thoughts: I am currently rma process with xfx. They can't send a card first to you, while they are repairing the old one. So you must have a back up card otherwise you can't use your old pc.

so far so.......
Pros: Execellent for my application.. needed Low Profile card for Dell Dimension 4600C thats going to be used as a HTPC.. Handles Vista Media Center (in a 3.4 P4 w 1GB RAM) no problem, well as long as ur not lookin for HD/BD Video Playback
Cons: THERE WAS NO LOW PROFILE ADAPTER IN THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although, nowhere on newegg does it say it does
HD DVD and BluRay not happening (BAD stuttering when played from local HDD), on my setup anyways.. most ATSC content (MPEG2, not MPEG4) is fine tho...
Other Thoughts: This product used to come with 2 diff low profile adapters.. 1 was just the dvi and s-video using 1 slot, the other added the vga on a second slot....
Card in Dell Dimension 4600C, Pentium 4 3.4Ghz - 800Mhz FSB, 1GB DDR333 RAM, 80GB IDE HDD, DVD-R, Hauppauge LP Analogue TV and FM Tuner, HD Home Run Dual Network Digital Tuner - Connected to an old 17" CRT TV using S-Video
YES - Vista Media Center runs fine on this machine!!!!

Pros: None
Cons: DOA! I bought this card for my daughter's computer, it took a while to get it to her and installed. Because of the warranty that is on the XFX 6200 I wasn't concerned about the time factor. Now after trying to get RMA using XFX's ticket program. I can appreciate Newegg's approach towards returns.
Other Thoughts: I would write all that I have had to go through if it was not for the 1000 character max.

Not For Gaming!!!
Pros: Easy to install, simple, high memory for the price
Cons: NOT FOR GAMING!!! I own an AMD 2800+ system and have had no issues with the ATI 9250 series AGP. This NVIDIA 6200 has black screen issues, intermittent graphics, screen lines, locked up system problems.
Other Thoughts: Installed this card in a very well ventilated case, plenty of power (500 watts), and have tried multiple patches, one at a time, and combined. Some improvement, but still issues. Go with ATI for gaming.

Pros: Great price,works with agp 4 or 8,low profile,works great,easy intall.Has dvi,s-vid and standard monitor connections.
Cons: no fan so no overclocking.
Other Thoughts: bought this vid card to upgrade until can afford a dual core computer.I have a p4 3.0ghz and with this card have no fps problems.If you are looking to get more performance out of an older system BUY THIS CARD.If you have low fps with this vid card you need a newer computer anyway so the money you save can go towards the new comp.

Pay for what you get
Pros: This card is really great for the money. I have owned this card for over a year now and it is still running good. It does good on some games.
Cons: I wouldn't get this card if your into to playing any FPS's. I get about 10-15 frames on Counter Strike:Source and about the same with Call of Duty 2. Just be careful when you install it, can be a little snug fit.
Other Thoughts: When I play world of warcraft I can run the game on about medium graphics and still get a good amount of frame. I run 1g of ram and a 2.4ghz single core and a asrock board. I haven't had any issues with this one bit.

Does what I expected
Pros: Works in AGP 4x or 8x, Works great with Windows Vista Aero, 256 MB, it doesn't require a heavy duty power supply.
Cons: Seems like it should have a fan on the heatsink, but it doesn't, so make sure your case is cooled properly with adequate case fans.
Other Thoughts: I am not a gamer, I bought this card to have a good video card that would run Windows Vista Aero in an AGP 4X slot, and it does it perfectly.
Don't waste your time with the drivers on the CD, go to Nvidia's website and get the latest drivers.
As always, Newegg ROCKS!

It works!
Pros: Works with Vista. Drivers install quickly.
Cons: This probably isn't the cards fault, but the vista experience rating is 2.1. Not sure why yet. Still learning the OS and the card.
Other Thoughts: Newegg shipping is awesome!

Great card!
Pros: Simple install! Quiet, fanless operation for normal office use. Available software helps adjust and fine tune monitor settings.
Cons: None so far...I got the card to use dual monitors for office work not games.
Other Thoughts: You must update the drivers that are packaged with the card. Before updates, I was working on a Word doc and the pictures wouldn't refresh in the correct position while scrolling through until I "worked" on the pictures. After updating the drivers, no problems and I love the dual monitor setup.

Great card
Pros: Just got this card to replace an old Geforce 4 128mb agp card and it has been running great. I knew for the price it wasn't going to blow me away, but it has done exactly what I have asked for so far. This was my first experience with the XFX series of cards and I am loving every second of it so far.
Cons: None so far for the price because I can't complain about graphics for a card under $50.
Other Thoughts: Don't bother overclocking it, was the recommendation by some friends.

Nice Card
Pros: Nice video card. Installation was easy - pretty much install and go. Software configured everything easy
Cons: Software video adjustments a little touchy - adjustments easier on the monitors
Other Thoughts: Probably the last card I'll need in this configuration.

decent for the price
Pros: graphics look great, upgraded from my geforce4 just to play new hl2 episode 2 had to have direct9x
Cons: even with average setup the fps still isn't there even when I lower all the settings still getting lots of lag and fps drops
Other Thoughts: You'll see a lot more but if you don't have beefy memory don't bother. I'm gonna scrap this tower soon and build a new one, just thought i would try putting whipcream on this terd I currently run.

Pros: Card works like a charm for dual monitor setup. I have a Intel 2.53 processor with a gig of ram and this card is outputting to two samsung syncmaster 940B monitors which are 19"
I would recommend getting program called UltraMon (search google) if your going for a dual monitor setup as it adds some awesome functions.
Cons: I wish it had two DVI ports but I cant tell the difference between the vga and dvi (yet) so if your worried about that don't be.
Other Thoughts: Ordered on Sunday night was shipped from TN got to OK on Friday afternoon. Not the fastest shipping from newegg this time but I still love newegg!

Does the job
Pros: Works like a charm. Bought for dual-head support and it does the job just great. Put in a Dell GX270 and it runs just fine on Vista Enterprise. Not used for gaming, just multiple displays in an office environment.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: NewEgg Rocks!

Perfect cheap upgrade!!!
Pros: Cheap!!! 256MB Ram GeForce 6x series Worked in my 5 year old Dell Dimension 8100 without a hitch
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I bought this to simply extend the life of my 8100 for another year while I watch the Core Duo/Quad procs, SLI video cards, SLI mobos, and Memory prices come down. This card allows me to play all the games that I couldn't play at a reasonable framerate for the past year. I should have upgraded a lot sooner rather than getting those crummy ATI cards from Walmart. This cheap upgrade will extend the usefulness of my computer for another 3-5 years minimum (useful meaning as a secondary computer next year) Newegg reviews help a lot!!!

Did not work correctly for me
Pros: Just got this, I wanted to like this card. I have a Biostar mAtx mobo in an small Antec case. Needed a low profile card for home theater. My previous ATI9600 worked great but was too big for my case. Saw the reviews bought this. There is something about it that does not play well with my mobo and TurtlBeach Riveria - CPU goes 100% for .wmv videos - every time. I have WMP11. I have tried most everything, drivers, IRQs, settings, moving, taking out cards, various combinations. Also it * does * run gawd awful hot, enough that in an small mATX case, I would wonder about leaving it on for a long time in the summer while I was away from the house.
Cons: Has a fair amount of horsepower for it's size and cost..IF it will play well with your mobo and you can keep it cool enough. I felt that the actual text display on the nVidia seemed a bit sharper than my 9600, however I liked the control options in the Catalyst drivers better.
Other Thoughts: I have a total of 7 PCs at home. I have a couple nVidia GPU cards in the other ones and had good luck with them. Who knows..maybe it's my particular card or setup? I'll be sending this one back.

BIOSTAR NO-NO!!!
Pros: Good card for multimedia computer, mild gaming.
Cons: I had major conflicts with this card when i tried to install it into a PointOfSales computer with a BIOSTAR P4M80-M4. it took massive BIOS tweaks to get the system to boot, and when i finally got windows installed i had a stop error every time i tried to change the resolution or open any kind of app that required openGL support. This is after installing updated drivers. THis card wasted hours of time for me and i would not reccomend it for anyone using the motherboard.
Other Thoughts: Probally a great vid card
