Pros: first card ive ever owned. it seemed to spec out well so i bought it. im very pleased with it. the obvious its more of a value card. i dont play much for pc games but with this card on my bugget system i max out games like call of duty 2 and need for speed most wanted. so that should give you an idea. i really got a stand alone card for video editing and its been a thing of beauty for that. im very pleased. also acording the liturature that came with it. it does do shared memory thing. so in addition to the 512 on board it can take about (dont have the numbers infront of me) 500-700 in there from your ram. also it supports crossfire so if your mobo supports that feature you can get two and do it up that way. also ive noticed no funny noises from the fan. i just poped it in loaded the drives and it worked. what more can you ask for.

Cons: doesnt come with any cables/adapters. or that sweet little ATI logo to put on your machine. not a Dx10 card. but for the money commmon people it is what it is.

Overall Review: im running vista and get a score of 4.4 in the graphics department

Pros: 1650 for 80 dollars. What? ! Nice card for the price.

Cons: Double check your gpu. My heat sink was not on properly which is why it was so hot. I voided my warranty but saved my card. Artic Sliver 5. The red washers go on the back of the board not the side with the gpu. New Egg may want to tell HIS manufacturing plant about that. Seen a couple reviews of bad cards. That, I assume is the cause.

Overall Review: if your using this card for crossfire make sure you have 2 gigs of ram. Started with one gig and two of these cards and saw no improvemnet. Added a second gig and wow freakin sweet. Battlefield 2142 is beutifull in crossfire mode. World of War Craft does not support crossfire, so don't waster your money if that's what your getting it for. Other wise hook it up. All new games support it.

Pros: Installed easily and greatly improved gaming over the integrated video card. Can get high settings on almost all games like Portal and Oblivion. Doesn't run hot or loud.

Cons: Some crashing on Team Fortress 2 but could be the processor (AMD). Crashed more before this video card though so it's better now.

Overall Review: Great value. I have the AGP version of the same card in my other PC which is why I got this one.

Pros: CSS WOW HALO Quake 3 Far Cry and half life 2 all run perfect. Tryed cod4 and quake wars demo and could get decent framerates at mid settings, although my pc only has 1gig ram and a 3200+. Installed easily.

Cons: It appears to be running extremely hot. I tryed installing temperature monitering software but they said my hardware didn't support that. It might be due to my PSU being only 300w but im not sure.

Overall Review: You might want to look into getting the one with the IceQ thingy. All in all its running my games fine.

Pros: Still works! Runs basically every game I through at it. Perty cool temps when running. Don't know how it does with vista.

Cons: The fan makes an odd annoying whistling sound I sometimes can hear. The brand has a weird name. Whats next? HERS!?

Overall Review: Hadn't ever really heard of HIS before and took a risk because of the price and the fact it was a 128 bit and 512mb. I think my risk paid off.

Pros: I love this chipset, bought first card for $xxx, a while ago, and now they are real cheap. Was great card then and good card now.

Cons: Out of the 3 cards I purchased, 2 are still running. 1 died when I enabled crossfire. 2hours use. Got replacement RMA from Newegg this card lasted 3 minutes. Waiting on replacement now, but I did order the AGP version today for an older machine. Haven't given up yet. Will post again when new card arrives.

Overall Review: Newegg is great with the RMAs. MSI,AMD/ATI support has been right on the money. MSI and Eggxpet forums are a great resourse for the home builders. HIS has yet to respond to any of my attempts to them for support. YOU DECIDE.

Pros: Great Card for the Price point. Runs WOW @ high settings @ about 60 - 65 fps ... Runs the COD4 Demo @ over 130 fps w/no tweaks .... Runs any game i have tried so far at above average fps ... Runs Cool & Quiet.

Cons: Have not found any yet for the price

Overall Review: WOW and some others dont support crossfire. So dont get 2 if that is your primary reason. Make sure you need them and can use them.

Pros: MAzing Video Card an x1650 512mb PCI x16 for $80!!! ITs Crazy its a really good card. I had a Nvidia 7300LE 256mb pci x16 and it was overlcoked and i couldtn run 2142 on low without OverClocking!!!

Cons: Pshhhh NONE AT ALL IM HAPPY WITH THIS CARD

Overall Review: REALLY FAST DELIVIERING ONCE AGAIN NEWEGG!!!
