I needed an upgrade for my Aging nVidia 5500FX card so I reviewed this card from Amazon and make my purchase.
The package arrived, on schedule and in great condition. No damages.

Installation was a snap. Instructions are in multiple languages in case it is needed.
Card installation was simple: Pull out old card, plug in new card.
The only catch is that this card NEEDS to be EXTERNALLY powered from off our power supply.
Thankfully, I had a free mini 4 pin power plug from off the power cabling which I used.
Installing the drivers and monitoring software was also pretty easy. (using Windows XP Pro)

All in all - a great product but PLEASE be forewarned. You need that power cable off your power supply or else the card wont work!

I had an ATI x850pro in a Gateway 2.8 P4 machine, and could play many of the games like Half Life2 and others from that general year of production. BUT, I always had a difficult time with some furious action in HL2, and could never get Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay to even play the opening scenes. This is the true test of how well a video card is working, will it play that eye candy game that sends your old video card into cardiac arrest. Well, this AGP based HD card from HIS/ATI is definitely a winner. It now plays Riddick like my other faster machine. Prey might be a next good test for this card. Give your old AGP based computer a kick of high definition with this HIS video card.

It doesn't fit as it should. From time to time I have remove it and replace it on the mobo. When it works it's great!
