ATI RADEON 7500 - Multi-monitor graphics card - Radeon 7500 - AGP 4x - 64 MB DDR - DVI

This card is an EXCELLENT value for the price. Performance is on par with a GF2 GTS or ULTRA or with a GF4 MX440. This can't dish out the power of a GF3, but for nearly HALF the price, you can't complain. 2D quality is also very good, and all the features like DVI-I and Svideo out make this card an exceptionally good deal. I highly recommend it for old computers in need of an upgrade. However, for newer computers, I recommend getting either an Radeon8500, or GF4ti. But for this price, the 7500 makes a perfect upgrade to for old computers

I bought this card because the Vid card in by machine was really getting pushed around by "MahJongg Master 3". The DDR memory that the G4-MX 420 didn't have cinched the deal. Installation of the card & newest downloaded drivers was a snap. Over the course of 2 wks., it's been great. Yes, this is only a budget card, but a VERY GOOD budget card. "M.M.3" is now fully under control.

Whatever you have read in the previous reviews is right. Installing this card is a bit tricky, but once you get it all right, it is defintely worth the effort and the money you put into this card. It took me 6 hours to get this card and the software working. I have included some very important points I noted while installing is card. Please take note of them so that you can install the card in a much shorter time.

(BTW, I have a custom build PIII 800MHz PC with 320 MB memory, Win 2K and a good old AGP 2X/4X ATI Rage Mobility card previously installed.)

1. First of all, NEVER forget to remove the previous display drivers !! Use the uninstall program that came bundled with the software for the previous display driver (EASIEST method). In my case, I had no uninstall software to remove the previous display driver. So, I used regedit to clear the registry entries for that driver and used the safe mode to remove the DLL files corresponding to that driver (NOT recommended except for a...Read more
