Pros: For an aging PC with only standard PCI slots, this was a good cheap way to get modern day graphics capability for gaming. My rig is old but has been heavily upgraded. I had a GeForce 5500 FX that did an okay job but newer games (low end games) were unplayable. I still can't play high end games but that's more due to not having a multi-core CPU. Worth it to squeeze a few more years out of an old PC if you do any modest gaming. Because it is PCI standard, it doesn't require a high-end power supply. I'm still using my 550 Watt PSU
Cons: The room the computer is in is warm, and the computer stays on most of the time. I do both gaming and web design/graphics work. Because of this I wasn't crazy about the heat sink but hasn't been a problem. I did buy a GPU fan however. I did have to remove a USB Expansion card because the heat sink plus GPU fan blocked all my remaining PCI slots. Like many here I had issues installing it. Multiple times the drivers didn't want to take. I finally had to uninstall everything and completely disable onboard. Started it in VGA mode and used drivers from GeForce website. I have had a few minor glitches that cause some games to fail sometimes (but not always). I can't be sure it's the card's fault but it didn't happen with my GeForce 5500 FX. A little annoying when it happens but still worth it considering that before, those games were unplayable. Still give it 4 eggs b/c let's face it, a 2003 model eMachine playing Killing Floor, Orange Box, and other games on Steam is still worth i
Overall Review: My computer is a 2003 model eMachine with Windows XP Home SP3. Over the years it has been modified. Prior to this card it had: 2.12 GHz single core AMD Athlon CPU 120 Gig internal WD hard drive. 250 Gig external WD hard drive. USB Expansion slot to add more USB ports (removed after this card was installed) GeForce 5500 FX (replaced) 2 GB of DDR1 RAM onboard sound 550 Watt power supply DVD/CD RW-ROM 3.5 Inch Floppy Drive (again the computer is OLD) To keep the new GeForce 9400 GT cool I also purchased the "EVERCOOL SB-RV Ever Lubricate Rocket V system cooler". It's reviews said it was cheap but so am I and I didn't want to spend a lot on cooling. I'm currently building a high-end gaming rig but I plan to keep this machine running as a 2nd system. It's still a good machine and this card added a few more years to it.
