Well it's finaly here! The DirectX 10 card that is small enough to fit in your AGP case. The card is very new and needs drivers that are being developed. The new drivers will fix issues that I am having with 2 out of 8 games and utilities that I used to benchmark. So I can only use AA of 2x or 4x and not 6x or 8x. I guess I need Vista to use DirectX 10. Supposedly there is a DirectX 9.0L for XP and it is DirectX10. I don't know to much about that though. There is a decal that comes with the Black Box version (Look at my images assosiated with this product) and I don't have the chemicals to apply the decal to my case =( need to goto the hobby store. I reccomend not changing the heatsing but rather get a portable air conditioner and direct the airflow to the front of the computer.

it's very hard to find in stores (only Fry's carries it in Houston now) but this is the one you want if you're a hardcore gamer still stuck with an AGP mobo and you can't afford to upgrade it to a new PCIe mobo yet...
driver support is very minimal right now, but keep in mind that these cards literally just came out, so it'll take a while to get them up to their full potential with the best drivers for the best performance...
installation is easy, but you will need at least a 350W PSU to power it, and it must have either ONE standard PCIe power connector or TWO standard peripheral connectors available to plug it in and power it up... so be aware of this before you purchase... I had to open the box to find out...
once you get it up and running, you'll enjoy all the bells and whistles of the superior PCIe-only HD2900XT card that you really need right now, at a fraction of the price... compare the typical price of $250 for this card to the typical price...Read more
So far ahead of its time....,

The card itself is great. The only problem is, is that, the fixes in the driver have yet to be created for all current games. Oh and if you play Halo: Combat Evolved - DO NOT install the HDMI driver for the card or you will not be able to play your game.
