5.0 out of 5 stars Good For Old Computers, November 1, 2007

This Jaton Geforce2 MX400 video card does wonders for any computer that was made between 1997 and 2004. The Nvidia Geforce2 MX200/400 series was a major improvement over the Nvidia Riva TNT/TNT2 series. The Nvidia chipsets are compatible with most computers. You should not have any problems after installing this video card. Most sellers include the "Software & Document" CD by Jaton Products so that you can install the drivers and software for this video card, but you can download and install other drivers from the Nvidia website if you have problems with the drivers on the CD. I recommend installing the drivers on the CD, because they were designed exclusively for this video card. This video card has 32 megabytes of memory installed, but you can buy this video card with 64 megabytes of memory installed. You may need to check the power supply in your computer before you consider purchasing the 64MB version. I've read that a 64MB video card needs at least a 200-watt power supply to display properly. Perhaps your computer has a 250-watt or 300-watt power supply inside of it. You should skip this video card altogether and look for a 128MB or 256MB video card. You can buy an AGP version of this video card. You should buy the AGP version if your computer has an Advanced Graphics Port inside of it. Most old computers don't have an AGP slot. Most of them have PCI slots. I use this video card in a Celeron 667 Mhz computer to play Quake 2. The difference will be like night and day if you put this video card in an old computer that uses shared memory. DVD movies will look more three-dimensional and smoother if your computer has a DVD drive in it.

Installed this in my daughter's old HP Vectra. Previously would not play DVDs and most videos were choppy. Now it plays DVDs very smoothly, and runs games that won't run on my son's newer HP Pavilion. I'm buying another now for his computer. An excellent upgrade.

I wanted to improve video playback in an older PC running Windows XP. The built in video in the older chipset in the computer was not very good. The computer that I am referring to only has PCI slots so I was worried that even with a video card it might not work very well. I am surprised at how well it works with this card. Even a couple of older games work well. I agree with the other reviews that the heatsink and fan do not look very durable on this card. If I have any problems, I may have to replace the fan and heatsink, but so far I am happy.
