Advantages: Cheap, good quality, what else do you need?

Disadvantages: Not as good as the more pricey cards

This little graphics card was the first piece of hardware, i have bought for any computer and installed myself and i couldn't be more happy with it well maybe if it was this price 6 months back when i bought it but still even then it was an incrediably good buy and definatley value for money.

A note to anyone who is thinking of buying anything that requires you to open your computer, ask for help when i realised that integrated graphics weren't enough, i talked to my computer whizz friend first off and he asked me what kind of ports my computer has and when i said i don't know im pretty sure, he wanted to stop talking to me.

So after cracking open the computer, taking a few photos and looking at diagrams on the internet, i realised that i had a PCI-Express 16X port being unused (if you don't know what i mean, its not really important) and so i started looking around for quality (but cheap) graphics cards and £65 seemed as low as i could go with this paticular graphics card, so i checked and yes it was compatible with my motherboard, so i showed the friend he said that it should work ....... if i had gotten the ports and motherboard type right.

But in the end after alot of time spent nursing the card into the board, it was installed and everything is so much better, all the games i had played were better tenfold and it also freed up some RAM.

In the end, i have nothing to compare this to other than the standard home Vista graphics but this is one of the best quality for money cards out there.

Summary: For those that need an upgrade that won't cost the Earth
