If you need a PCI video card for any reason, get this one. It is stable, works great with ATI drivers, and is amazingly fast. It seems to perform as well as my old ATI AGP card, which I had to retire when I switched to an nForce4 PCI-E motherboard.

This card is now my primary video card, and it works so well that I have no real reason to upgrade to a PCI-E card!

PS--With WinXP this card may not recognize your monitor's max refresh rate, so you may need to set it manually with the Catalyst software. This is easy to do, though.

You can hook up two monitors to this, and if you already have a graphics card like me you can get a three-monitor system. The monitor connected to the s-video port is great, however on the DVI port (that can also connect with s-video monitors with the included adapter) the only resolutions available are 800x600 0r 1024x768. Still great for the price.

Got two of these cards mainly to run four vga monitors (to on each card) with an hp dc5700 business machine. Works perfectly as setup through windows xp pro. My old cards only went up to 75htz and 85htz refresh rates. This card allows the monitors to perform at 120htz, 32 bit color which for me means less eyestrain. Comes with vga converter included for the second video output from dvi to vga. I prefer the old vga crt monitors over lcd for less eyestrain. Installed itself with proper drivers, totally silent, fast on all my programs running core 2 duo 6700 with 4 gig on board. Nice to have a product work out of the box. Video over internet smooth at 300k playback on dsl Bellsouth connection. My 300 watt power supply doesn't seem to be a problem as cards are rated at 250 watt requirement accorder to visiontek customer service, who answer right away and are very helpful - Not that you need them - No need to disable motherboard video - Perfect! Note: I'm told multiple pci cards/multiple monitors (over two) are a function of motherboard compatibility, so check with your computer mfg. before getting two or more of these cards.

This video card installed without any problems. It was needed to play a new game. Works great.

I purchased this video card for my work computer (HP DC5700). The installation was flawless, I didn't even need the installation disk. I had no problem configuring the dual monitor system. I am using it for over a month now without any problem. And the price... You can't beat it!
