I wanted to spruce up my back up system, but only had the PCI slot for video. I figured I would just get the best PCI video card and know that older system was maxed out. I did a lot of research and decided on this card. The cold hard truth is that no card (by any manufacturer) is going to run well off a PCI slot. I'm actually getting lower FPS now than with an OC'ed 5200. I average about 15 FPS on World of Warcraft on 800 x 600. That's not acceptable. That said, the card couldn't have been easier to install and get the latest driver. It was plug and play. My advice: save your money and upgrade your motherboard or even your system. I wasted my money on this.

A friend gave me this card. In my old Emachines T1860 WinXP AMD atlonXP 1800+ with 768mb ram it would run Half Life 2 pretty well on med-high and lower res settings with no AA but it took ages to load. Just switched this card into my Gateway GT5432 AMD athlon 64x2 5000+ with 1gig ram cuz it seemed like the cool thing to do. Loaded the HL2 demo and cranked everything up and added some AA in there, and it was beautiful. It lagged a little cuz my lack of ram with vista but it looked great. If you need a good PCI card, this is it. Flight Simulator X wont run very well on my system, maybe 2Gigs of ram will help...
