I needed to upgrade my video card to play the game Civilization 4. I could find nothing that verified that this light version of this video card would do the job and decided to just chance it. No problem. It went right into the slot, and the game worked fine. The most onerous part of the whole project was cleaning out the inside of my tower as long as I had it uncabled and open!

I have a Dell computer that's about 4 years old. It has the built-in Intel graphics adapter. I needed something better for my kids to be able to play Lego Indiana Jones. This card has worked great. No problems. Some reviewers mentioned that it increased the overall speed of their computer. I didn't notice that, but I wasn't really expecting it . Don't forget to disable your on-board video before you finish the install!

I bought this to install in my father-in-law's ancient Gateway box, so that he could drive a modern wide-screen LCD that was beyond the capability of the computer's onboard graphics. The card popped into place in about a second and worked perfectly. Windows XP warns that the drivers have not been certified and may not work, but they work fine for my father-in-law. No complaints.
