Advantages: Fairly priced

Disadvantages: Won't run newer games very well

This card is now getting to the stage where it is bottom of the range. However, it will still run most games that are coming out to some degree, even if not at high quality.

Newer games will not run smoothly with Anti-aliasing and Antistropic Filtering on, and some effects will need to be turned down to maintain an acceptable frame rate, however, it runs the games well if you're not too bothered about graphics.

This card is now getting quite old, but it offers a good 'bang for buck' value, as they can be picked up extremely cheaply nowadays, just be prepared for the fact that new games will soon not run on it at all. The first example of this I have found is Thief: Deadly Shadows, as it requires Pixel Shader 1.1.
