Rating: - The noise of the fan is unbearable
It was fine at first, but after a few months the noise is so loud I was losing my mind. I had to take it out and throw it away. Lost money. Avoid this card.

Thought I knew what I was doing technically speaking but found out otherwise when I received the product. Will have to upgrade hard drive, ram, and motherboard for this to work, so it was a more expensive project than I originally thought. It was probably mostly my fault, but I think the requirements for this upgrade could have been more clearly stated. I'm sure it'll work fine when I've upgraded my upgrade.
Rating: - Crashed Just After A Year

I would not recommend this card unless you plan to replace it again in a year. I have replaced ... Read More
Rating: - Plays all the games but noisy fan!
My only complaint is that the fan can sometimes start to make a loud buzzing sound. I have a Dell Dimension 9100 so it's rather easy for me to open it and tap on the fan, and surprisingly it isn't chronic so I haven't yet thrown it out the window.
Plays all the games though. Was really inexpensive... for about $50 it does the job.
Rating: - Great!
I had a Geo Force FX 5500 and this was a giant step up for my gaming. I am using a simple E-machines T5048 and this made the graphics just awesome. It fixed the lag problems I had in Company of Heroes. Now if I can just get Qwest to up my DSL speed.
