Good video card at a decent price

As dual output PCI cards become more difficult to locate (especially in local computer shops), I was pleased to locate this one. Installation in an older Dell was easy, drivers loaded without a problem (system is running XP Pro), and configuration for primary and secondary monitors was easy.

Good Design, Average performance

This card still sits in my Copmpaq Evp desktop PC. its an oldie, but performs wel. This card is NOT suitable for gaming, its just too slow for that. It also doesnt have much features. it doesnt even have DVI ports. Also is AGP 8X faster than PCI 1x. On the other hand is this card very silent, doesnt get too hot, and is it well designed. for the same price is a geforce 6 a better compromise

This card is great! No problems for me. The card drives two monitors or one monitor and a TV. Not all three at once. The controlling software makes it easy to switch between dual monitor, and single monitor and TV combinations. I use this card for a home music studio and it is nice to have the extra visual space for the sampler, editor, and track layouts. Treat yourself, and get one today.

This was my mistake in getting this graphics card. I quickly returned it back after reading the reviews and showing no changes of graphics. I wanted this for gaming and don't buy this if you do because this is obviously not meant for it.

This game is excellent if you want 3 monitor setup, one on-board VGA and these dual VGA will give you a 3 monitor setup. It's great for everything but gaming. I do web develop and test a lot of stuff, and 3 monitors are skyrocket productivity. I love this card for the stuff I do.
