Good card horrible drivers

Once I found out that you have to only install the drivers not the Catalyst Center the card works great. I've been trying to milk my socket 939 system for as long as I can and this is the best AGP card out there. Call of Duty World At War runs so much better since I got this card

3 month learning curve

The lack of instructions is shameful. Need to have a current restore point because installing all the software caused a loss of sounds. Using a digital cable for a monitor is a nightmare. Using VGA cables for both LCD monitors, everything is great. My 400watt power supply went bad, with a 500w power supply everything is faster. Had to move a hard drive for room and the heat. PCI slot next to the 4xAGP slot "has" to be empty. Needs a 4 pin power supply, like a hard drive plug.

Good Card for the Money

I burned out an AIW 9600, and this has provided a better performing replacement. Very quiet. Easy install on Windows, some driver difficulties on Linux. Currently running with VESA driver on Xandros 4.0. Works, but without smooth scrolling. On OpenSuSe 10 it runs very nicely with the RadeonHD driver. Note that this card requires a 4 pin peripheral connector for power that was not visible in any photographs that I saw. (Same type as an IDE hard drive uses.) Uses two slots, and a third slot may need to be free to provide clear airflow to the fan.
