This was not a very good product, I expected more out of it. It did nothing that it said it was supposed. Very Unsatisfied and I want my money back!

My Dell Dimension is now 5 years old, so that may have something to do with this, but the install for this video card was problematic; P4 Prescott 3.2Ghz HT, 2GB dual channel 400MHz, OCZ 500W PSU, XP Home SP3.
There was absolutely nothing that was plug and play; it took me several days to get it setup. I got it working, but the VGA port on the card is on the extreme edge of the chassis, making it completely unaccessible/unusable once the card is installed. There is a DVI port, and an adapter is included, but that seems to be the only thing that went well trying to install this card.
I know that not having AGP or PCIe definitely limits the capabilities of any performance enhancement, but this card’s performance is abysmal – even by PCI standards. Colors are pretty, and edges are very well rendered and defined, but don’t buy this card if you are thinking about doing anything that is graphics intensive. It’ll play BDs without bogging down the system, but that’s about it.
If you don’t a choice of AGP or PCIe, save your money for a new motherboard.

This card is not worth 5 dollars. I bought it mainly because I use Adobe Premiere Elements (Video Making) and this card actually made the video a lot worse. My standard on board Intel video with 96MB is actually better, I thoght I could improve the video (Adobe Elements) with this card. I tried making numerous adjustments and nothing worked. Do not buy it if you already have decent video as this card will do nothing for you except possible make your video worse. It even interfered with the sound on my videos.

I needed a new card for dual monitor use on my desktop. I am a business user. My old video card fried and I ordered this one because I could get it next day. The installation on my vista64 desktop was easy. Everything works. Nvidia control panel makes setup easy. My only complaint is that my windows now refresh with animation that I can not shut off. It slows things down a bit, but nothing major. I just wish I could shut if off. No help from documentation.
