I installed this card about 2.5 months ago and so far it works perfectly. Easy to install, drivers worked with XP. Graphics are amazing compared to onboard, and it plays newer games quite well. For the price you can't beat it. Also most of the other manufacturers don't include the cooling fan on the 5200.

Prone to having the fan seize up, first time was after only about 6 months. Good performance otherwise, but not worth the short lifespan. Never was able to get the rebate (was told I used the wrong promotion code). Warranty is not really for life.

This a very decent card for the money, Runs games like Unreal Tournament 2004 with everything maxed out perfectly, Games like World of Warcraft and Guildwars run fine turned up as well. Even the latest games such as Half-Life2, Doom3, and Battlefield 2 can be played on this car, Just on low and medium settings. But this card is defiently for you want to play basic pc games with an extra kick in graphics quality.
