I did much research over two days to find the best card for a PCI Standard bus PC and found a number of reviews stating this was the best. There is much discussion whether or not these older PC's can even utilize anything over 128Mb cards but with so many good reviews, I purchased this one. The consensus is that the 512's are a waste of money. Someone stated in another review that you have to disable the old card first. You do it as follows: Start, Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, left click on the "cross" to the right of Display Adapters, right click on Graphics Controller (or it will be the only one listed), left click "disable," turn off PC, install new card, start PC, PC should recognize new hardware, download new software, update new software (there's new drivers since the 5/08 ones on the disc), go back to device manager and uninstall the old card if you want.
Before I did this the new card would not take, and all I got was a black screen upon rebooting...Read more

Was looking for a PCI based video card and this one is perfect. Works great in a older DELL 2400 that I upgraded with this, memory, and a CD burner for my neice.
I would recommend this video card to anyone looking to upgrade an older PCI Based system.

My Nettop computer has Intel GMA 950 onboard graphics. I was experiencing poor quality video with a Dell 19 inch widescreen monitor. The text was blurred and it had some flickering at 1440x900 resolution. I tried everything to adjust it with no luck. This monitor also had video problems with a Mac using GMA 950 graphics. My Nettop only has 1 PCI slot, so I gave this card a shot. Wow, what an improvement! Both Digital and Analog outputs look great. It works great with Aero and it improved the Windows Experience Index for Aero from 2.0 to 2.5 with Windows 7. Windows 7 automatically detected it and I didn't have to do a Google search for missing drivers. The system seems more responsive now, maybe because of the GPU and extra 256mb of video ram? This card has lots of plus's: Low price, great video quality, DVI and VGA output, 256mb RAM, no noisy fan, it fits in a PCI slot, S video output and it works with dual screens too. The specs say it needs a 300 watt power supply, but...Read more
