Pros: Great price for a solid card. Works well in SLI. Replaced my X800GTO with one of these, then I upgraded and added another in SLI. Putting 2 of these in boosted my 3Dmark05 score from 3445 to 6444, almost double (keep in mind I am only running a 2.8G P4 w/ 533 FSB so it is still low). Can overclock easily - especially if you use coolbits (google it).
Cons: Don't like the passive heatsink if I overclock, although it's supposed to be able to run very hot. I couldn't find an aftermarket cooler that was made for the 7300 so I just attached a small fan to the heatsink - no problem now.
Overall Review: If you are looking for a capable card (that can OC alright) for a budget system, consider this. It ain't gonna compete with the big dogs, but when you put two in SLI it can hold it's own against the 7600 and you can't beat the price.
