Incredibly Low Price! The Mainstream 128-bit TwiN Texel 3D Processor The
NVIDIA TNT2™ was the first chipset to offer a 32-bit frame buffer for better
quality visuals at higher resolutions, 32-bit color for more realistic colors,
and a 32-bit Z/stencil buffer for incredible 3D effects—blazing the trail
for graphics processing units (GPUs) such as GeForce 256 and GeForce2 GTS.

Bought 3 of these for low end Internet browsing. Very Very good video cards for the price. I even tried playing a DVD, and the resolution is awesome. I am about to order 3 more of these.

Very good for normal use. Not recommended for 3d stuff of course. I bought one of these when they first came out. Served me good until last summer when it blew. The max resolation was 1280 x 1024. That was what I was running it for for 2 weeks on my new linux computer. It overheated and blew. It works good with all the other resolutions. Don't recommend the highest one though. If you need a cheap card and don't game this is a great offer.

This card works exactly as it should...if you already have access to nVidia software. I did and am very pleased with the results achieved on an older computor.

No drivers come with the cards. The drivers from Nvidia would not load into WIN98se without choking. Since there was an IBM FRU # on the card (used/refurbished), I went and searched the IBM site and found a driver that worked perfectly (e73z35us.exe). Now that it works properly with OpenGL code, the performance is excellent. Such a Deal!

Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!

Will Your
Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...
Before you
buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this video card. For
example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed
only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Please read the specifications
carefully or call us for expert advice.
Close-Up:
PCI, AGP, and PCI-E (PCI Express)
Check
your motherboard and make sure you are purchasing the correct cardbus
type.
There are 3 types of cardbus slots currently available:
PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot)
PCI
- The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between
the CPU and peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and
RAID cards. Though limited in terms of performance, they are considered
the best value when you upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI
interface can be found and used in nearly any motherboard. Click

AGP
- The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed
especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to
8x improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It
provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one
AGP slot is on the motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with
an AGP bus slot for an AGP card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data
transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1
Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.) Click
here to view our selection of AGP Cards
PCI
Express - PCI Express is the newest technology that
is superior to both PCI and AGP, in terms of graphic performance. It offers
performance as much as 4x faster than the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express
connections can support fast data transfer rates, which can be used to
connect high-speed devices such as high-end video cards. The slots come
in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8, and x16. Presently,
most high-end motherboards meant for design, video production, or gaming
come with PCI express slots. To use a PCI Express card, your computer
must have at least one available PCI Express slot. Click
