PNY GeForce 8400 GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Video Card VCG84R2SXEB

Pros: Works OK with Dell Vostro 200 slim chassis.

Cons: There are actually two versions of the NVIDIA 8400 gs chipset, one comes with 16 stream processors and 450MHz core speed and the other 8 processors and 567MHz core speed. Unfortunately, this card only has 8 stream processors instead of the 16, which reduces the 3D performance a lot. Although I don't expect too much for a low-end graphic card, it would be nice to have a 16 processor version to max out the intrinsic capacity of the 8400 gs chip.

Pros: Great card for the money. The low profile brackets are a huge plus.

Cons: The CD that came with the card didn't work as planned. Ended up going to the PNY site to get the correct drivers

Overall Review: Card is good for the older games and also for those that are on a budget that can't afford the higher end cards for games.

Pros: Cheap An upgrade from an old AGP card Works fine on light gaming, and good for 3 outputs

Cons: Took a week to get it via 3-day shipping Took a couple off hours to finally install it How much time was wasted on this cheap card?!

Overall Review: Installed the card, like I have hundreds of times before, but after installing the drivers (off the CD), all I got was 4-bit color, and 800x600 resolution. I went to the NVIDIA website, downloaded their drivers... got an error during installation. An hour later (after multiple reboots) managed to manually install drivers from the hardware manager... browsed to the C:/ drive where the downloaded drivers were put. Good lord, why did it have to be that much effort to install this cheap little card??

Pros: A certified tech, I don't know as much about video cards as some. However, this card is cheap and works well and we're going to replace it with a better card sooner than later and use this as a spare. In the mean time, installation was easy and it works wonderfully.

Cons: None, other than a smallish fan.

Pros: Bought this sucker to boost my old AMD64 3200+ to run Vista for a HTPC. Popped it in and booted up with out any problems. The system in some cases runs better with less ram than my dual core AMD with a Geforce 7600gt in it. Watched several 720p hi res movies on my LCD TV and the picture looks awesome. Aero works smoothly. Haven't done any gaming with it though, wasn't the point of buying it though.

Cons: The composite connection is kinda finicky, I gave up on it and stuck with the VGA connection.

Overall Review: Almost tempted to put one of these in my other machine, to replace the 7500gt, but I think I'll hold out for something even greater (maybe 512mb ddr3).

Pros: I haven't really gamed in years and I needed something cheap. It's good enough for my uses and for occasional Age of Empires. Windows update has newer drivers and installed them instead of using the cd. You get what you pay for, so I can't knock off any eggs for low performance. Build quality is fine and the fan isn't loud at all. Might be a good HTPC choice if you don't mind the fan as it comes with the low profile bracket setup.

Cons: Don't see anyway to SLI this thing, but if you're looking in this price range you probably don't care.

Overall Review: No issues on Asus P5Q Pro with 2GB Corsair RAM, Celery E1400.

Pros: Great price.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: A place to buy without the worry's of paying enormous amount of S/H.

Pros: Good low-end card.

Cons: -

Overall Review: Basic card, works as intended, great value for your money.
