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
