Bought when first came out, in 2004

I needed to up grade my eMachines W4885, if I wanted to play pc games like - Driver, Delta Force, Half life and Doom. And for around $160 back then it was worth it, it was very easy to figure out,install and set-up. And to this day - I am still using this very same card, while I'm gaming away on DF, BHD, SnA, JO TR, JO E, JO IC, JO IC:E, Reality, SG and the two new mods AW2, DF2. This video card has given me nothing but great performance, and with a new flat screen it is even better now.

This card is easy to install and after you get the 64 bit drivers from ati it works great. Getting it to work with 64 bit ubuntu 8.04 was a little more fun. But I got it to work flawlessly. All in all a good unit. So I guess you could say ''I'm happy''. Art

I just bought this one yesterday, It runs oK, but not very good for CatiaV5 programs, I have to exchange to get something else. If you want it for graphic design , you should not get this one. Huy

Bought this to replace an even older technology AGP video card with a noisy fan and only 128MB of memory. Installation was a breeze and the card works as advertised. I do see a noticeable improvement in on screen picture and video quality. Highly recommended if you still need to use the AGP interface.
