This is one of the few video cards that will run Great Planes Realflight G5 Flight Simulator Mode 2 radio controlled model airplane software with all objects and shadow turned on and it doesn't cost a lot, compared to what you can pay for video cards. I installed it on my old pentium 4 that has an AGP slot and windows XP OS.

Added exactly what I needed for 3D effects graphics. This 2004 Dell has served me well, and with upgrades like this, that were oppressively expensive at the time, I can keep her going for many more years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needed video card for older Dell Dimension computer, August 2, 2010

Grandson was given an older Dell Dimension computer but it did not have the graphics card option installed. He couldn't play even moderately complex games on this computer because the built-in graphics output of the motherboard could not keep up with the requirements of the games. Fortunately this computer did have an AGP slot for graphics upgrade. The "Dimension" line of Dell computers is very low profile so a full height graphics card would not fit inside. This card came with two different mounting brackets to fit both full size and half size computers. The full size bracket was pre-installed, but it was a simple matter of two screws to swap it for the shorty that was included in the box.

AGP is pretty much dead these days as a technology for graphics adapters. In the late 90's and early 2000's it was THE hot new graphics technology. Today it has been almost entirely replace by PCIe. Some older computers that are still completely functional use AGP and cannot accept PCIe cards. This card was the perfect solution to that dilemma in my grandson's case. I'm sure he will outgrow it in a couple of years, but for now a perfectly good computer lives on in his room.
