1.0 out of 5 stars Not an AGP Video Card, November 26, 2008

Amazon says this card is an AGP video card, which it definitely is not. It is a PCI Express card, which is really frustrating considering the week I spent waiting for this for it to turn out to be the wrong card and I've needed a new AGP video card for 2 weeks now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Many reports of fan housing melting, July 23, 2009

This card lasted less than 4 months for me. It started making fan noises after 2 months, and finally caused my computer to spontaneously reboot. When the card was removed from the computer it was obvious why it failed, the plastic housing over the fan has MELTED! This caused the fan to quit working, and the system overheated, causing the computer to reboot. When I took the card out of the computer I nearly burned my hand, it was so hot.

A web search showed that this problem is by no means unusual, there are many reports of the same problems.

So now I get the privilege of paying my own money to return the card, only to get another which will probably fail in the same manner after a few months.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy, November 20, 2008

I bought this for a slim desktop which, unfortunately, can only use certain cards. This one came with the wider bracket shown already attached, but includes two slim brackets--you need to use both and use two slots in the computer. In my case it eliminates using a 3x PCI slot, but I wasn't using it anyway. The instructions are good for installing the card and getting it up and running, but there are no instructions for changing the bracket, but it is pretty straight-forward.

The card works well, improved the speed of my computer (which had integrated graphics), and is a good buy. Not the best out there but good for the price. The box says it is 2x better performance than the comparable 8 series 8400 GS.
