EVGA has always been a great upgrade card because they manufacture quality items at very good prices. This card is no exception. The installation is easy only taking up 1 PCIe x16 slot. There is small fan just over the processor. The memory is only DDR2 which is ample for most games. The really nice part is that this card allows older machines to catch up to Direct X 10. I tried it with Vista 64 and it installed just fine. I also tried it with Vista 32 and had no issues. I did not try it with XP.

I have an hp computer which has an integrated nvidia graphics chip which was great for basic computer operations but not really good for multimedia and or gaming. I saw this card for sale here on amazon for the ridiculously low price it is, and, concidering its specifications, I figured I would give it a try since I had an open PCI-E port free in my computer.

Wow! What an improvement this card has made! Not only did my computers video processing performance increase 500 percent, but the overall image quality it displayed is noticeably more lively! Oh and for vista users, this card will take full advantage of vista and do it with awesome performance. For an idea of how this card handles gaming; I have bioshock for xbox360 so i downloaded the bioshock demo on my pc to compare. I can get bioshock to run on my pc with this new card with a fairly good frame rate at the highest settings. However, in the end my xbox360 clearly outperformed my pc with bioshock in just about every way. (I'll give my full pc specs at the end) Although my PC could not run bioshock up to par with my xbox360, it could run it at a more than playable frame rate at medium quality settings. So if your a person who doesn't need the best of the best and just wants to play some games then this card is probably ideal for you.

Now, if you are concidering buying this card, there are just three main requirements you should have met before purchasing: at least a 300w power supply, an unused PCI-Express slot and have either a windows xp or windows vista operating system and you should be all set.

My computer specifications are currently as follows:
Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2180 2.00GHz
4.00 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce9400 GT 1 GB DDR2 (the item i'm reviewing)
500w Antec Power Supply
Windows Vista Home Premium

Hope this review helps you decide if this card is right for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great video card for the Price!!, November 4, 2008

I purchased this video card to replace an ATI video card from the last generation of cards. it miles ahead of it. With 1GB of ram it flies on all online games I play including Guildwars, WOW, WAR, and DDO. It runs Crysis and Halo 3 at a very playable framerate at maximum graphics settings running at 1280X840 resolution. I highly recommend it if your looking to get great graphics at a reasonable price.
