Pros: I have a Dell Inspiron 530s so I needed a decent low profile card to satisfy my gaming needs (mainly World of Warcraft). With the on-board Dell video card I was able to get max 10-15 FPS in major cities and in 25 man raids 5-8 FPS on boss fights. After seeing the reviews on this site and a few others of slimline owners that bought this card I decided it was safe bet to purchase. After I bought it... -Max 75 FPS in major cities (medium settings) and 40ish FPS in 25 man raids. The difference is AMAZING. -Computer score in Graphics went from 3.4 to a 5.0; Gaming graphics went from 3.6 to 5.4 -Runs on my 250w power supply -Relatively cheap, but worth every penny if it's a stretch for slimline owners. -Very quiet -Low power usage -Easy installation -Plays every game I've tried on it so far. Before some of the newer games wouldn't even load because of my cruddy on-board card, and the ones that did load look 10x better now. (RE5, Prototype, TF2, WoW)
Cons: It does tend to get a bit hot. Not really a problem so far though.
Overall Review: I spent about 4-5 days researching this card on the basis of what other slimline owners had to say about it and not what the card company instructed as far as power supplies. I don't think I ever came across a truly negative review on it and now I know why.
