Pros: works fairly good for the price.

Cons: Kinda slow for gaming.

Overall Review: bought this for my hp slimline which only has only pci x1 slots. For the average user it works fine, great enhancement over onboard video when using 3d images. Most games work fine but at medium settings. Found most curent games to run slow at high settings and some games you wont detect the ion chipset so you neet to set those manualy. Overall this card is fine if you only stuck with a pci x1 slot.

Pros: It takes a bit of work to make it work under Linux, but it works and is very zippy.

Cons: Kind of unfortunate the that the nouveau driver doesn't support the card yet..

Overall Review: I installed this on my AMD Opteron workstation (which only has PCIe x1 and x4 slots). To install you must do this: load grub at boot and edit your kernel boot line, preferably one of the single user mode lines. add: "vga=ask nomodetest nouveau.blacklist=yes" to the kernel parameters Choose F00 (eff zero zero) as the video mode. When it boots, I chose 'netboot'. I then did this: sudo apt-get purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau I also edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and added: blacklist nouveau When I rebooted I found that I needed to boot with special parameters still. This time use a normal boot mode (full multiuser graphical boot) but add this to the kernel boot line: vga=ask nouveaublacklist=yes I again chose F00 as the mode but Ubuntu booted graphically anyway. From here I could go to System -> Administration -> Third-Party Drivers and install the Nvidia driver. It's unfortunate that nouveau crashes on this card, but the card can be made to wor

Pros: Small package. Beats the heck out of any PCI based graphics card. 3-way video output (YES THAT IS HDMI YOU SEE). This card does NOT need any additional sound cards for using the HDMI. The card comes with its own audio controller for the HDMI port. 40nm die process means cold running. Run Eve online fairly well at 1280x1024. Left 4 dead 2 was quite amazing at 1024x768 (but stop and think that the HL2 engine is now 7 years old.) Supreme Commander 2 also fared well with all options turned down at 1024x768. Unbelieveably quiet!

Cons: PCI-E 1x, Personally, I think this card could shine better with a bit more paths. This card is little expensive, but worth the cost if you do not have the options available to you.

Overall Review: Dont waste your money on a PCI card, get this instead. 133MB/sec vs 1GB/sec, you can see a clear winner in that fight. Some folks have been stating that their Dell's have a problem with this card. Please make sure you go into the BIOS and change the graphics ordering. Intel Core2 Duo E6300 3GB DDR-667 Windows 7 64 Asus 8600GT 256MB 16x PCI-E Zotac Ion 512MB 1x PCI-E 220GB Raid 5 Intel Array 4x Dell 1907FP

Pros: For my HP DC 5100 slimline case was super easy to install. I did not have to change any bios settings. I simply put in powered off and unplugged of course. Dont ever try to hot swap these cards. Laughed when I read that. I have World of Warcraft Cat and have the graphics set to good ect no issues not choppy and runs fine.

Cons: I did have to guess a little on the driver, no ION driver listed Zotac guys reading this. So you know the GT210 driver works great for the ION GPU units.

Overall Review: Correct the driver name so you can choose the right one. I installed firestorm and physX no issues with Windows XP 32 bit sp3 and have had no locks or reboots of any type.

Pros: An intersting little card, fits in low-profile slots and seems to work quite well connected to an 1080p HDTV.

Cons: None.

Pros: - Nice finish on brackets and heatsink. - Gaming performance is very good, much better than anticipated. Runs Left 4 Dead, Sims 3, GTA 4 smoothly on a mix of medium an high settings on my 47in TV. - HUGE improvement in HD TV and movies. Colors are much better and there is no more choppy playback when streaming HD on Netflix. Going from integrated graphics over VGA cable to this card with HDMI cable, the difference is huge. - Very easy installation. Made one change in the (Dell) BIOS before installing card. Card was recognized by BIOS, Vista installed a generic driver and I updated to the current driver from Nvidia. No crashes, no BSoD's, no crazy pull-the-card-out-while-the-system-is-powered-on. -WEI bumped graphics rating from 1.0 to 4.7! Nice! -The card handles HDMI audio, no audio sync issues with video.

Cons: -The overclocking software is okay, I've seen better... Although it gives you the option to restore overclocking settings when the application starts, enthusiasts will prefer overclocking from the BIOS or other software. - Documentation is lacking; See Other Thoughts.

Overall Review: I am disappointed by the lack of documentation, and it would clear up a lot of the confusion I've seen in some of the reviews; to install the VGA adapter onto the card itself, orient the ribbon cable so that the red side is lined up with the arrow pointing to the connector on the card. I installed this in a Dell Optiplex GX520 with no issues. Don't bother with PCI cards, do yourself a favor and go with this. You'll spend the same amount of money and get something that not only performs better, but gives you flexibility if you want to use it in a new computer.

Pros: Upgrade over most onboard graphics, fair price, low profile/slimline option, HDMI output.

Cons: Compatibility issues (see Other Thoughts), no PhysX support, less RAM than current mainstream cards.

Overall Review: Bought this to upgrade a mini-ITX HTPC I made with an Intel DQ45EK motherboard. With the system running Windows XP, the card was recognized, I installed drivers, finagled with BIOS and driver settings to make the ION the primary card and enjoyed improved performance. Under Windows 7, however, nothing I did would make the system boot to a Windows desktop with the ION card installed. In the end, I had to remove the video card, go back to onboard video and install a PCIe x1 tuner card. I have a couple of the Foxconn ultra-mini book computers with the ION chipset onboard, they run awesome with Windows 7. My case appears to be a compatibility issue with the particular motherboard. I imagine these cards wouls be a great upgrade for first-generation PCI-Express motherboards that only have PCIe x1 slot(s).

Pros: Low price, low profile= great video card. You will not be able to game with all the settings maxed however, for what it is you can play most games at a medium setting.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great for a home entertainment computer. A lot of options when it comes to connections, with a hdmi, vga, dvi. If you looking for a great priced video card you can't go wrong with this one!
