moderate improvement over 9800pro

Pros: can run current games at max settings. temps surprisingly low with stock heat sink fan. GPU: 34-39 idle and 55-60 on load
Cons: fan spools up really loud on start and on high temps (which i've only hit once)
Overall Review: hopefully i wont spend anymore money on this setup (best agp video card today) until i build a new one years later. im putting a zalman vf700 on this for noise reduction and possibly lower temps. abit IC7 MAX3 P4 3.0c AGP asus x850xt pe corsair xms 2GB western digital 74GB raptor creative audigy 2ZS platinum pro antec neo 480
needs update

Pros: does what it's supposed to
Cons: does not fit ddr3 or pcie without modification
so far so good

Pros: handles my new system smoothly
Cons: could use caps to cover unused ports
Overall Review: the box it came in was a little confusing to open lol
works like a champ

Pros: small very portable no external power required
Cons: see other thoughts
Overall Review: the built-in usb cable to connect to the computer is about 1.5" long i got this to replace my external powered usb hub for my desktop and it hangs from the port fortunately due to its size it doesn't really weigh it down also, the usb connect is so big it blocks the neighboring usb port i got this from fries but will probably return it for something that makes more sense for my desktop. that and i hate fries
nice replacement
Pros: cools better than stock nb heat sink fan. noiseless
Cons: on a difficulty scale of 1-10, 10 being most difficult, this was a 4 to install
Overall Review: replaced my dying abit ic7 max3 nb fan
