5.0 out of 5 stars Great for DirectX 9.0, January 4, 2007

If you need to upgrade an older computer to support directX 9.0 - like if your kids want to play computer games like spongebob or pixar cars etc - this is the card for you. This is the cheapest one I could find that would support directX 9.0. Any windows operating system from 98 on up will support directX but if your hardware doesn't support it - you're out of luck.

Not a gamers card but great for business use. If you are not a gamer this card is all you need.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dirt cheap card for older AGP systems, April 13, 2009

This review is from: EVGA e-GeForce FX5200 AGP Video Card - 128MB Light Version 128-A8-N303-L2 (Personal Computers)

If your computer only has an AGP graphics card slot, this is pretty much the cheapest card available. It will power modern monitors (only natively supports VGA although you can use a converter to DVI), even at resolutions up to 1920x1200. It's not going to play modern games, but for powering a monitor or playing games prior to 2004, it will work just fine.

PROS:
Cheap
Supports up to 1920x1200 resolutions

CONS:
No DVI out
Only one monitor connection
Poor graphics performance

Conclusions:
Suitable to older computers that need a replacement graphics card and use a VGA monitor. Not recommended for today's games, dual monitor configurations, or DVI monitors.
