N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	10/25/2007 1:18:30 PM Flippin AWESOME Pros: Ok, I dont know why but I ordered the 128 mg version and I opened it up to find it was upgraded to the 256 mg version / 128 bit. I plugged it into my system with my 9800 pro and now I have three monitors working perfectly! Oh and the shipping was perfect newegg rocks. They know how to handle customers. Package looked beautifully handled and wrapped. Cons: Is three monitors enough? Other Thoughts: You cant go wrong with more monitors Did you find this review helpful?

Triple X Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: more than 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/19/2007 12:05:08 PM Good 3rd monitor card Pros: DVI connection is very good for a PCI card. Very good text and image quality. I just let Win XP Pro select the driver. Works well with my ATI 9600 pro AGP card. The fan is very quiet. You can hardly hear it with your ear next to it. Cons: VGA is lousy. It's pretty blurry. Other Thoughts: If you need an ATI PCI card this is a good choice. But the VGA is crummy. From what I have read, there are no good ATI dual monitor cards for PCI. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Jeyan Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/8/2007 9:28:21 AM Great 3rd monitor card Pros: Works right out of the box if you already have the ati drivers installed. Works great in conjunction with other ATI AGP cards. A quad monitor setup is possible. Cons: Case cooling and good power supply is needed to run more than one video card. Other Thoughts: Great Bargain. Newegg rocks asusual. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/25/2007 10:15:47 PM Good Card Pros: Installed easily, Works great Cons: None Other Thoughts: I installed the card and it worked right away. No issues with drivers or difficult software to setup. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/16/2007 2:24:40 PM not good Pros: An Excellent card for the money if PCI is all you have. Cons: After loading win XP and all the updates, including SP2, the card causes the screen to go black even though the monitor still shows that it's getting a signal. w/o sp2 it works beautifully. Got the card too late to get the rebate (18 days to ship and only 15 for rebate) Other Thoughts: save your money and try to get a new mobo that will support agp w/ your current cpu if possible. you'll be better off. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

DotNetProgrammer Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/14/2007 11:03:54 AM Single monitor card Pros: DVI-D works great. Rebate makes it a reasonably priced single monitor PCI card that supports 1680x1050 widescreen format. Cons: The VGA port produces fuzzy text and images. The analog port on the DVI produces even fuzzier text and images. No amount of monitor tweaking can produce usable text. Other Thoughts: The card does support dual 1680x1050 monitors, but the monitor attached to the VGA port is too fuzzy to be useful. Did you find this review helpful?

fizatdh Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/2/2007 8:37:31 AM Its oka Pros: Of course its a pci so it went in easy, my dell workstation didn't have any other graphics (agp, pcie) slots. I wanted a decent resolution for a wide screen lcd monitor, and I've got it. I use mostly spreadsheets and the internet so my requirements aren't very demanding. Cons: Nothing as of yet. Other Thoughts: For the price it allows my older dell to utilize a bigger screen for my workstation w/o having to upgrade the computer for another year or so. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/18/2007 2:02:01 PM Not fanless!!!!!!!! Pros: rebate makes it cheap. Cons: Specifications listed as fanless here and on manufact. website. Other Thoughts: I never trust product pictures on websites but I should have this time.

N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/16/2007 8:00:58 PM Great Card Pros: This card is great for my computer since I can't get AGP or PCIexpress video cards. I have more of a 3d view and it isn't sluggish or slow. Works great for my games. Cons: Screen only jumps when exiting a game but thats it. Other Thoughts: It is a very easy card to install and will improve your graphics. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Brett Tech Level: average Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/11/2007 7:40:01 PM Lowsy Pros: none. Cons: DOes not support true multi monitor, my computer and the video card is seeing them as one monitor, not as a two seperate desktops, not what I wanted. Other Thoughts: Screen blinks, lowsy support from Diamond MM, avoid at all costs, go with a different brand. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
wrightme Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/10/2007 1:14:34 PM Decent card Pros: Fairly simple to set up and install....as long as you read the instructions. This is a decent PCI card for computers that are not AGP or PCI-e. It made a good replacement for a Motherboard chipset video. Cons: Not really any. Other Thoughts: Glad there are still some PCI cards available. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/3/2007 8:01:09 PM Second Video Card Pros: Arrived in two days. Exactly as advertized. Works well. Cons: The drivers supplied on the CD wouldn't work. Had to down load updated drivers. Other Thoughts: I installed this card in a Dell Dimension 8300 as a second video card. My first card is an ATI All-in-Wonder 64 mb AGP. It works well. Having two monitors has really made audio editing easier. Did you find this review helpful?

fireburninghot Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	12/17/2006 7:50:25 PM best for PCI motherboard Pros: If you still own a PCI motherboard then this is a good choice. I can now watch HD video (avi,wmv) on my PC. Works great with my Samsung 940W widescreen. Cons: None for the price. Passed winmark test with average rating. Did you find this review helpful?

Vulpine Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	6/25/2006 10:02:59 AM Badness Pros: The box is pretty. Cons: The card frequently resets video causing games to freeze and video to not come back on. Updating drivers is a massive pain, the manufacuture can't even get updates quite right. Other Thoughts: Don't buy this card if planning to use it to do more than email or play Windows Solotair. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

jimmars Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/30/2006 3:41:04 PM Working Great Pros: Was easy to install, and worked with the computer easily. Performace is great on America's Army. Cons: Directions got the job done, but were a little confssing because they jumped around Did you find this review helpful?

Oldensign Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/1/2006 1:37:42 PM Great second card in XP for 4 monitors Pros: Works perfectly with ATI 9600 AGP card. I put this 128 MB PCI card in the slot next to my 256MB AGP card. I now have 3 independent monitors side-by-side (and could have a 4th). Windows XP does all the hard work and Ultramon does the rest. Very stable. Cons: None that I can see. I have a similar 3-monitor setup on another computer, also with other ATI Radeon chipset cards. Other chipset AGP + PCI setups are not as stable as ATI chipset cards. Other Thoughts: I have no idea how this is for gaming or single display across 3 monitors. I use a 24" LCD (from AGP DVI) in the center, a 20" LCD (from AGP VGA) on the right, and 19" LCD (from PCI VGA) on the left. I put the Illustrator drawing or Photoshop graphic in the center, a Frame document on the right, and toolboxes on the left. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?

S70fan Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	12/2/2005 6:33:28 PM It works Pros: It's inexpensive. It beats on-board video on 4 year old bare-bones pcs. Cons: Installation is balky at best. This is my third Diamond PCI card. The included CDs do not always work and have to be explored and used a piece at a time. Nvidia cards are just better. No more Diamond-ATI for me. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

MetalCharms Tech Level: Ownership:	5/25/2005 9:30:02 AM Wow. Comments: I have an older computer. I just got one of these cards. (I don't have PCI-E or AGP slots, yes it IS that old.) I installed this thing easily, and with the S-Video connections, I was able to connect it to my TV. It's great! (No problems yet) Did you find this review helpful?
