Good card

white Reviewed By: g-man on 9/16/2006
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The first card I recieved was a flop and had to RMA. New card came within a week. I put in my agp slot and it fired right up w/o a hitch. I have been using it now for a week and it works great. No fan noise as described in other reviews. Plays D3 on high setting, HL2 looks and plays great, and far cry on medium setting in a system with an AMD 2.2ghz processor and 768mb ram. Great little card for the $$$. Newegg even refunded shipping costs to cover the cost of my shipping the card back for a replacement. I am a new customer with newegg and they sure have impressed me. Thanks newegg.
Cons: None so far
Other Thoughts: Stick with newegg for a great assortment of products, low prices and excellent customer sevice.

Pros: Inexpensive, fits AGP slot, decent GPU for older systems. Quiet. Picked up right where my old card left off. (Same Chip)
Cons: No serious heat dispersement system, just a fan. I'm a little nervous to put my lid back on.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I had a decent system (AthlonXP 1.2ghz, 2GB PC2100 ram, 80GP ATA133 HD) running a lame duck video card (Geforce MX2 32MB AGP 4X). Although it would run World of Warcraft, only the kids were willing to deal with the experience (slowness, pixilated graphics (because of the settings being turned down so far), just generally not a pleasant experience. I saw this on Newegg for a good price + a mail in rebate, couldn't pass it up.
Cons: None thus far... seems to be working great.
Other Thoughts: Really did make a major difference in the WoW experience. Understandably, this is a major upgrade over the card that was in there, but it really did FEEL like a major upgrade. And for an end result of $35... it's really hard to beat.
