Pros: Strong little card for PCIe x1. Well priced (it's a fair bit more powerful than the 5450 which is actually a higher price on newegg), low profile bracket with dual-slot option to keep all 3 outputs.

Cons: Not a gaming card, but you should know that already

Overall Review: If you really wanted to, you can play some games on the card but I use it for a HTPC and it's a solid little card. Low power consumption and all the hardware acceleration you need for any form of video playback. I've tried Folding@home, it turns in a fairly week 3k ppd but for the low power it's a decent boost if you want a little bit more.

Pros: Added to desktop that had an NVS300 with dual monitor system. This card worked like a charm I am now extending all 3 monitors and controlling in the NVidia control panel. Good drivers on CD and almost plug and play to get started. Win 7 x64.

Cons: So far none.

Overall Review: Not everyone needs more than 2 displays but if you do compatibility becomes a big issue. This configuration worked for me with a pretty complex video setup in my Dell Precision T5600.

Pros: I had recently purchased a motherboard with embedded Atom D2550 CPU onboard. The onboard Intel Graphics were based on PowerVR technology and were not enough for my Ubuntu Linux desktop. The Motherboard also only had 2 slots, one PCIE-X1 slot and a standard PCI slot. This little PCIE-x1 nvidia card ran perfect in this system, taking the tiny Intel Atom based system to a great dual monitor Ubuntu multitasking machine. whole machine maxes out at about 51watts durring benchmark tests.

Cons: None really.... not once you understand the specs and capabilities of such a card running in a PCIE-x1 slot.

Overall Review: Ive been using this system and video card for quite some some time now and have had no issues. And even though i have mine setup for linux I know for a fact that it runs fine in windows as well. At least I have fairly decent nvidia graphics running in my little motherboard. Did exactly what I wanted it to do.

Pros: I needed this card for an HTPC that has a raid card installed in the only PCIE16 slot. At first I was worried that if the 1X interface would have enough bandwidth for 1080p video or if the GPU would have enough juice to decode it. The research I did indicated otherwise so I bought it. The card plays high def video and audio with hardware decoding enabled without even breaking a sweat. I also found out after I bought it that not only is my decoder able to leverage CUDA but windows 7 media center can take advantage of Nvidia PureVideo as well.

Cons: After almost 2 years of 24/7 up time the fan has started to fail. It now makes an audible whirring noise. Not sure what to do just yet.

Pros: great video card for my PowerEdge 840 that my work was throwing out - It works with Ubuntu, Mint and Fedora latest versions,,,I have not tried Windows as I do not use it at home,,,so not promising anything there- had an old dell soundcard and the video card picks audio up with no problems- hooked into my 46" tv and looks and sounds amazing though HDMII...you have to dl the latest ,run file with ..I got it to run by: First, download the latest Nvidia drivers to a familiar location, such as Downloads. Log out of the account and press CTRL-ALT-F1 in order to bring up the terminal. Enter the following commands: sudo service lightdm stop cd ~/Downloads sudo chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.51.run ./ NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.51.run I would recommend Ubuntu as looks the sweetest though HDMI - the other distros.. Also, if you are installing Ubuntu on the PE 840 with or without this card - turn off "allow operating install" in bios- or worded similar... but 8 g of memory and this med to low end server gets boosted to a home media machine,,,I will install SteamOS later when out of beta- have not tried yet- but sure it will look good with this card...also- I installed Wine and Diablo3 after finally figuring out how too- and it ran very smooth,,,doubt if games like Crisis will do well but- you get what you paid for....

Cons: none for the price- takes a little Linux knowledge to get driver down- but you can google your way though - and refer to my post

Overall Review: nice for the price- with Linux distros== not sure if windows works

Pros: A simple inexpensive upgrade to an old system. The system only has a 305 watt power supply so I was looking for something with lower power requirements and this card works fine. Very nice performance improvement. Using NovaBench the Video score went from 1 to 65 and the FPS from 6 to 212! Going from VGA to DVI cleaned up the display too. A definite thumbs up for this card.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is an older Dell Dimension 4700. I have USB and Ethernet PCI cards installed so this went into the bottom PCIe slot. Boot and install the drivers, worked great! The card stays cool even in the bottom slot.

Pros: Doesn't require external power. Plug and Play with Windows 8. Can run dual monitors using only this card. Runs cool and quiet.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Plugged it in, started the PC, Windows 8 downloaded and installed the current driver. Connected one monitor to DVI and another to VGA for dual monitor setup with extended desktop.

Pros: I bought this for the PCIE x1 connector to install in a Dell Poweredge 2950 rack server - worked perfectly.

Cons: Nothing so far - installation was simple as expected.

Overall Review: Note: Dell does not support graphics card upgrades for servers. The system takes a while to boot between the bios screen and the OS splash screen.
