Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (parts): 90 days
Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (labor): 90 days
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: It has a low price and a high brand name.
Cons: Despite several attempts to get this card to function properly I gave up. Even updating drivers after doing full uninstalls of old drivers, including disabling the onboard card, couldn't get this card to work right. It is compatible with my motherboard but it just won't work right, tearing of the screen and wobbly movement of anything in motion.
Other Thoughts: Another family member tossed the receipt and packaging, thus I am the proud owner of a 50 dollar piece of junk lol...

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This graphics card is great. I'm not too much of a gamer, but when I installed Gears of War, I put it to the max resolution and no glitches at all! Since then I bought Need for Speed and Call of Duty for it!! This card rocks!!
Cons: When playing Gears of War and Call of Duty, I noticed that there was a little noticeable lag when I moved the mouse too fast to look around. Most of the time, it's barely noticeable though.
Other Thoughts: Great card if you need to use Photoshop, watch movies, etc and play games too!! I wish I would of got a 512MB card instead...
