Pros: Great card once you get it installed. One thing I recommend if you have XP or Vista is to install the ATI Hotfix from the Sapphire site. These seem to be the only drivers that worked. Go to Sapphiretech dot com, hit English go to Graphics, go to Sapphire HD Graphics 3600 Series 512 DDR2 go to Drivers on top right, go to VGA go to Sapphire HD 300 series , go to Sapphire HD 512 MB DDR2 AGP, hit Download Driver at bottom right, go to Catalyst 8.10 hotfix for AGP Hotfix. Be sure you choose correct OS! Thats it, that is what fixed mine, I have XP 32 bit. Remember to uninstall all ATI drivers first, then reboot and pop this card in. After each install, be sure to reboot.

Cons: Hard to get it working. What most people here say is right. Very tough card. I did a bunch of research and found that most of the people that purchased this card had to load the sapphire catalyst control center hotfix. If you don't load it, ccc will say it cannot install. Very strange and buggy. Keep in mind, I didn't load the drivers from the ASUS site.

Overall Review: Above

Pros: Great Card, installed into xp without a problem, driver cd made installation a snap. Card runs slower than normal stats due to an AGP 4x slot, still runs a clocked 722 mhz on gpu, 495 mhz on memory, 15.8 gb/s bandwidth, and sits stable at 52 degrees idling (hot but not for an air cooled card). Heatsink works like displayed, copper line transfers to aluminum fins and then to the v-shaped cooling vents... alot of heat in one area but not enough to degrade the performance.

Cons: None So Far... slightly taller than I wanted and fits tightly into my case but its an older flat desktop case so everything is a tight fit lol

Overall Review: Kinda ghetto, but placed 8" circular fan (lol) to blow onto the card and it dropped the temp to 38 degrees stable during game play, tested good medium-high settings on Oblivion and Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30, both tested higher than 50 fps in heavy combat. Definately a good buy!!!

Pros: This is a powerful card for the AGP slot.. Install of the hardware was easy enough, good large heatsink.. QUIET, no fan meens one less fan to make noise DUH.. Installed the software from the disk OK.. As it first burns in the temp was a bit high 65c but cooled down to 42c in about 15 minutes which is normal.. Case fan blows air right across its heatsink so all the better.. Did not see any problems like other posters had, drivers disc was labeled V749 and had cat8.523 on it.. Cleaner 3D graphics than the Geforce 6800GS I have playing HL2 and Max Payne 2 and that thing is a workhorse..

Cons: Tight fit in the AGP slot.. My slot you have to hook the front edge of the card then push it down which makes the metal slot fingers tight against the rear of the case as you seat it but it fits.. Game that came with it will not play, just posts a rendering error code.. The heatsink seems to wobble a bit, large sink teetering on the small face of the video chip.. This stops after burn in time and cooldown but could be a hazard to the thermal pad if the card has to be removed.. ASUS does not bundle a DVD codec or software player with this card as far as I can tell.. Every NVIDIA card I have came with NVDVD or somthing.. Packaged in a box that is HUGE, I will be able to use it as a suitcase next vacation.. Maby thats a Pro?? Would have rather had a media player than the game... Did not see DX10 on the disc..Not much else to crab about..............

Overall Review: Wish people would post their configs so others can see what does and does not work.. Unless you have a kicking CPU this is about the limit for AGP in my opinion.. ATI has one more tier up the 3850 but bottlenecking at the CPU or on the Motherboard can bite you.. If I have a failure I will update my review but for the most part if it does not fail in the first few days it will last for years...... The wifes computer it is installed in >> Win XP Home MSI Motherboard with VIA chipset K8M800/VT8237R 1 Gig HyperX DDR400 3GHZ Athlon64 CPU 400 watt power supply

Pros: HDCP over AGP. To those out there that said you can not play Blu-ray or HD-DVD on a single core CPU, I beg to differ. This card will do it, you just have to set aside a couple days of headache and hard work.

Cons: It should not be this hard to install a video card. Let's face it. The reason someone is installing an AGP card is to extend the life of an older PC. More documentation needs to be released stating what types of mainboards will and will not work out of the box with this card. All I wanted to do was to add a HDCP AGP vid card for an old P4 Willamette laying around (ASUS P4T) to try Blu-ray playback on Windows 7 Beta. I don't think I have had this much difficulty installing a vid card since the ol' dual Voodoo 2's. I'm pretty sure I have replicated every possible problem every user here and in every forum about this card has described and then some. Because of the age of my mainboard and the HD Audio device on this card I can not install it on any Windows OS newer than Win XP SP2. Anything newer and the OS would either not load or go to a black screen after the OS splash screen.

Overall Review: A brief wrap-up of what I had to do to get this card to work for me: 1) Bios Settings - Set AGP Aperture to 16MB - Set Plug and Play OS to No 2) Remove all PCI cards. 3) Install Win XP Pro w/SP2 - x86 4) Install driver from install CD 5) Install ATI 8.12 hotfix driver 6) Disable the HD Audio on the card (PCI Device) 6) Install additional PCI cards one at a time. 7) Run Windows Update and only run Custom option and do not select SP3 For the price after rebate I think I'm going to keep this card. Now I just need to play around with IRQs and slots to see if I can find a combination to get all of my cards running including the USB 2.0 controller which is the only card I can't get to install without locking up the OS.

Pros: Fast card! Replaced an FX 5900. Works well with DirectX 9.0c (XP) you will be able to max out older games, but the card really excels as a budget DirectX 10 (Vista) solution. No fan (very slick and quiet). Huge box for a GPU.

Cons: Drivers are a little tricky. AMD/ATI drivers didn't reconized the card, so I grabbed the most recent from ASUS's website. Open the zip file with WINRNR clicked on the setup file, and all is good.

Overall Review: Just a great card for the money, but a novice may have trouble installing it.

Pros: A cheap way to upgrade your old system without building a new one. I am able to play my games in very high settings. It runs at an average of 43Celsius at normal usage and 53Celsius at heavy usage (gaming). This is an upgrade from my ATI9700Pro that pretty much was causing me to crash and slow down my gaming.

Cons: The drivers so far is only supported by the Asus drivers that came along with the package. There are driver downloads online so if you lose your cd you still can grab it online. My only gripe now is that TeamFortress2 is crashing. I tried getting drivers from ATI and Omega and they both do not work. So you are stuck with Asus handling the driver upgrades.

Overall Review: Overall, I would've given the card a 5 if it wasn't for the drivers being solely available from Asus. But I hope there's more support down the line. Otherwise, for a $99 purchase (w/ shipping) minus a $20 rebate, I figure it was a steal considering this card is between a 2600PRO and 1600XT.

Pros: This thing is silent, really breathed some life into my aging rig, and didn't break the bank. Frame rates are about on par with what you'd expect on the AGP bus however I'm now getting to switch on many games bells and whistles CNC3, BF2142, HL2, and others. Installation guide could use some work but it's just the run o the mill videocard install. Remove old drivers, shutdown system, remove old card/install new, power on system, install drivers, reboot and your set. Asus has always served me well and here they didn't disappoint. I highly recommend it.

Cons: Well it's an AGP card and the standard is being phased out so your better served saving your cash and getting a new system. It's somewhat big/heavy but that's to be expected from a passively cooled card. It also runs a touch on the hot side but then again it's to be expected since it's not actively cooled.

Overall Review: If like me you like to keep your systems around for as long as possible then you should look into this card. Be aware though that if you're just into web browsing and word processing type chores you could also make due with and antique like the nVidia Riva TNT2. On the other hand if your chores include fairly cutting edge gaming then by all means max out your current rig with this card and the most memory the old Motherboard can support and let rain the graphical goodness.

Pros: I had a few doubts about this card, since I read quite a few negative reviews about it on here but was convinced by the numerous positive reviews to go ahead and give it a try. Purchased it for my wife for her birthday so she could play World of Warcraft at full force. The card installed easily, ran a stress test and it passed perfectly, and has been running non-stop for several days now on a 250W power supply. Everything looks great and runs smooth! Since it is fanless, it is SO quiet.

Cons: I guess that the card is VERY large could be a con. Be sure you have an open slot next to the video card because it WILL require it whether you want to give it up or not. Fortunately, the computer I put it in didn't have much in it, but I did have to rearrange what was already in there to make room for this card.

Overall Review: Great card for the money. Just be sure to completely uninstall your previous card by going into the system manager and manually removing everything. Apparently, old video card drivers seem to cause problems with this. Also, download and install the most recent hotfix for it. I believe the one I got was 9.2 or so. Again, BE SURE you have the room in your computer, this WILL require the video card slot and the one next to it.
