GIGABYTE GeForce 7200GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card GV-NX72G512E2

Pros: Easy installation, easy driver installation. Even a low experience tech could install this card with no issues.

Cons: None (... yet)

Overall Review: Used this in a build for a friend. 1-2 weeks after install card was still working great.

Pros: Fanless Cheap

Cons: ?? you are not going to play Crysis on this lol

Overall Review: Replaced a dead card in my parents computer with this.

Pros: Works great. Composite out is very useful. 256MB of vram is very nice and give nice smooth action for media center apps.

Cons: None.

Pros: 2 monitors setup works great in Ubuntu 9.10. Using the Nvidia-glx-185 driver from Synaptic. Much lower processor overhead when using emulators. Can now play YouTube HD clips full screen, unlike Intel video. The price is unbelievable!

Cons: It was a bit of trial-and-error getting the card to work and getting the right drivers installed, but it was definitely worth it.

Overall Review: You will be able to boot into Ubuntu without installing the drivers, BUT, make sure you turn off the Compiz effects or you'll get a blank white screen when logging in. Had to figure this out the hard way. Also, I couldn't get the latest downloaded drivers from Nvidia working, since you needed to boot into a console without X starting up to install it, but wasn't sure how to do that. The nvidia glx drivers work great, so I'm happy with that.

Pros: Smaller card, fanless heatsink. I bought this to put in a PC I was building for an older couple, I'm not a fan of motherboards with onboard video, and I wanted a fanless card so it would be one less thing to worry about dying after time on the PC. Drivers that came with the card also worked just fine. I had never purchased

Cons: Definitely not built for heavy use or gaming. If you want to buy a gaming card, you're going to have to plan on spending a bit more. :)

Overall Review: Fine card for builds that are only going to be used for basic computing/web surfing & email.

Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, and has a composite video out.

Cons: Relatively low peformance (but that is to be expected).

Pros: Very good image. It came with tuning software that allows you to overclock easily. it actually has pretty good performance for the price.

Cons: The GPU runs very hot with stock passive aluminum heatsink. under load 56-58c with no OC. I installed a copper fan heatsink and with minor mods to the hs, I got it to fit my mobo.

Overall Review: The price is very cheap for the performance. if you don't mind adding and modding a fan cooler it is a keeper. If you use the stock heatsink i wouldn't expect it to last long at those temps, especially if you plan to use the included OC software.

Pros: This is an ok video card especially for the cost. No fan to wear out.

Cons: Not really any better than the onboard video graphics my mobo has already. But i didn't really expect it to be either, for under 30 bucks. It is fan less. thats a pro, but also a con because it runs rather hot.. about 160 degrees F. at idle. That is over 60 degrees hotter than my Intel CPU runs....
