Nice mid range card at decent price!
(5 out of 5) by New York Reviewer on Apr 9, 2007 (New York)This card was bought for my HP Pavillion M7750n. It had 256 of shared onboard memory which made it terrible for gaming.
After buying this card the graphics and performace in EVERYTHING was better. No more lagging in games, beautiful picture (using it with a 19" LCD WideScreen monitor), and fast performace.
I wanted a card that I could put in without upgrading the power supply as my computer only came with a 300watt PSU. This card definetly did the trick. No need to upgrade as it only requires a 300watt power supply.
Installation was a breeze! Simply disable the current onboard video in the control panel, shut the pc down, unplug the power and video cables, pop the new Geforce 7300gt into the PCI Express 16x slot, one screw to tighten on top of the card to the pc case, close the case back up, plug everything back in, turn on and do a simple driver update, system restart once and I was good to go. Total installation took under 10 minutes.
Also on a side note, the card fit very comfortably in my small case. The card measures about 6 3/4 inches in length.
I immediatley tried some games that had previously run laggy with "echo" effects as the onboard memory couldn't quite handle them. After this card was up and running I haven't lagged on any of my games yet - AT FULL SETTINGS!
My only gripe, if I had to list one, as that the onboard fan is a bit noiseier than my system was before, but not much. Still relativley quiet.
Very happy with my purchase and would recommend this card to someone looking for a mid level upgrade to their pc. Also the fact that it only requires a 300 watt power supply is a big plus as most of the more expensive cards require that you upgrade the power supply.

Improved over computer original video card
(4 out of 5) by Harold Johnson on Jul 28, 2007 (Savannah, MO)My Gateway 835GM Media Center PC wouldn't play the new Command and Conquer 3 game I purchased. This card is doing the job quite well. I did have the first card sent fail after a few hours use. I notified Amazon and was immediately shipped a replacement. I think I'm more impressed with Amazon customer service than anything about this card!

(5 out of 5) by DISenchanted on Oct 3, 2007 (NM USA -Land of DISenchantment)A local bestbuy store had these on sale.
First I upgraded an eMachine, which had only onboard video.
Wow, amazing what I had been missing .
Next, I upgraded a homebuilt Gigabyte w/ built-in video, with this pci-e card.
Finally I upgraded an intel D916GUX mobo with this video card and there was
again, much joy thru out the household !
