Good card for price!

This card is actually really good...i hooked up microsoft halo combat evolved, installed it, and was right into the game.
When i recieved the card from newegg i realized that my computer i was wanting to fix up didn't support that right kind of agp slot.
i was sorta angry, but then i went over to my family's other computer..installed it..and it has a perfect picture.
who would have thought that 256mb is a major difference..
so far i love this card..
i still can't believe it's only $20.

The driver/installation cd had major dents in it from the card moving around in the box.
if you need to find drivers..ati doesn't have a website..so just google it.
otherwise..NONE!

Whoever is looking in towards buying a good video card..and doesn't want to sped $160...this card is for you!!!

Better than my old GeForce MX 400

Can't even handle CS regular on 1280x1024 (my lcd). Freezes sometimes in smoke grenades. Do not settle for this card
