I have an older Intel i810 based computer (Celeron 500, 192MB of RAM, and Windows 2000 Pro) and needed an inexpensive PCI graphics card that would actually make this machine run some games at an acceptable framerate. This card fit the bill perfectly. It is at least 2.5x faster than the i810 in benchmarks, and the actual experience in games like Quake II and especially Serious Sam is dramatically improved. Quake II is silky smooth at 1024x768 and Serious Sam is quite playable at that same resolution. And the images this card produces are awesome. A great bonus of this card is that VisionTek keeps the drivers very up-to-date with NVIDIA's official drivers. In fact, VisionTek makes the reference cards for NVIDIA's chipsets, so you get a card from a manufacturer who know's NVIDIA's chipsets like no other. Although it may cost a little more than cards based on the same GeForce2 MX 200 chipset from other manufacturers, the quality and support are well worth the difference in cost. And the cost is quite reasonable anyways, especially as an upgrade to the infamous i810/i815 graphics deccelerators that still come with many low-end new computers.

if you are thinking of buying this card for a secondary card in a multi-montitor setup, forget it. this card will only run as a primary while your expensive agp is secondary.
