Pros: It has a S-video port and TV-Out capability for connecting to old TVs. It is low profile.
Cons: It runs hot even with a relatively big heatsink.
Overall Review: I purchase it mainly to fit inside a low profile HTPC that is connecting to an old TV that can only accept S-video. So far, the video display is fine with that old SDTV. I am not using it to play games; therefore, I don't know how well it works with games. Having said this, I run a Car-Paint 3D demo program downloaded from ATI web site, and the demo runs fine. It generates quite a bit of heat in that low profile case if I only use the chasis fan and the power supply fan. I fix the problem with two fans spinning very slow sucking air from the video card. I feel that this problem can also be fixed by using a well ventilated full size computer case. By the way, its desktop graphics for Aero score in Windows Experience Index is only 3.8. I don't understand why its desktop graphic score is much lower than its 3D graphic score. Checking review in internet and find that this is normal for Radeon 4350.
