MSI GeForce 210 512MB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card VN210-MD512

Pros: Fits my Dell Optiplex GX620 SFF with no interference. After updating with latest drivers from Nvidia and Flash 10.1 beta, plays Hulu videos in high quality on 42" LCD over HDMI at 720P with no stuttering. Fan is audible, but drowned out by system fan. Comes with full height and low profile brackets. LP bracket for VGA is a separate piece, and cable can reach over to either side of the card.

Cons: Fan seems to run at constant speed. Would have hoped for variable speed depending on temperature.

Overall Review: I originally purchased the passive cooled version, MSI N210-MD512H for my GX620 SFF, but had to return it because the large heat sink interfered with the hard drive bracket and motherboard capacitors. Reading the various reviews of low profile graphics card and Dell SFF computers, there appears to be some confusion as to what card fits which PC. The Optiplex GX620 comes in four case sizes: Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF), Small Form Factor (SFF), Desktop, and Mini Tower. The USFF has no expansion slots. The SFF has one PCI-e and one PCI slot. The Desktop resembles the SFF but has one PCI-e and two PCI slots. What I learned is that the GX620 SFF requires a card with a heat sink that is no wider than the bracket.

Pros: Easiest upgrade I've ever done. Fit in my Dell Vostro200 with ease. Installed card turned computer on and installed drivers and it was done. Didn't have to turn off on board graphics, it configured all setting, didn't have to tweak anything. Great upgrade from on board graphics.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This was for my son's computer. Think I'm going to get me the same card with1gb of memory.

Pros: Good card for what your paying Works fine in a low profile case (with the only exception off needing 2 slots to use the VGA port Runs fine in windows 7 x64

Cons: Loud, and MSI afterburner will not allow you to adjust the fan speed settings

Pros: Worked great with Win7 64, no problems installing.

Cons: Fan is way too noisy. It's the loudest card I've ever owned. This was for a HTPC box, so I'm replacing it with the fanless version of this card, since I have room for the larger heatsink.

Pros: 1. cost 2. win7 plug n play

Cons: 1. noisy not sure if its fan itself or the way the heatsink draws air through it but my htpc was near perfectly silent till this little beast. will move to another box and trade for an ati maybe if can't take it.

Pros: Easy to install. Works well with two monitors.

Cons: Fan runs constantly and produces a low hum.

Overall Review: If not for low hum would give five eggs instead of four.

Pros: -Performance was good for what i wanted (HD movies and Compiz under Ubuntu 10.04) -Drivers installed easy

Cons: -Had to disable on-board graphics all together before it would work. -Lost system sound after installation

Overall Review: -Fixed system sound by installing an old sound blaster live sound card

Pros: Cheap Low cost Great Aero experience Comes with low profile bracket

Cons: If you have to use the LP bracket, you may be forced to waste an expansion slot in your machine. Fan could be quieter.

Overall Review: This is a great low-budget card. I popped it in my quad-core HP dc5800 machine, Windows Update found drivers for it and installed fine. Only one glitch right now - upon reboot my machine comes up with a STOP 0xA5 error. I have to power down the machine and power it back on, the it boots withou a problem.
