Peppy little card. Given the processor speed, it won't drive much more RAM than the 512 on board. The fan is noisy but this runs all but the most video hungry games at good resolution and frame rates. If you want to pipe sound through it you'll need to get a spdif connector cord. It came with a Call of Duty disk...not sure which version since I don't play it, but that might float your boat.
GREAT CARD FOR THE PRICE, NOISE NOT A PROBLEM,

I consider this is a great video card for the price I paid (20$, AMZ). I understand they can still be bought at this price, via rebates.
Bought two of them, for new builds for which I still don't have all the components.
Tested them yesteraday on two PCs. One with an Nvidia NForce 570 SLI chipset / Samsung monitor, and the other an AMD 770 chipset / LG monitor. Both have Windows XP Pro.
Had to remove the video card that was installed, first, before I could do the tests. And put the new card in its place. It would not work on the second PCI Express x16 slot - guess this is normal.
One thing, when I tried to use the VGA (blue) connector in the LG monitor, the computer started, and seemed to go on loading Windows. It showed the first screens right after the BIOS POST, then the Windows logo, but after that there was no image. It worked fine afterwards, when I used the DVI input. The other monitor only has DVI.
I do not play video games,...Read more
