5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!!!, March 3, 2009

By	D.S. "Magnehelic" (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews

I was so pleased after ordering several other video cards trying to get one that was low profile for my slimline 1/2 height desktop. This one wasn't explicitly labeled for use in low profile, but not only did it fit, it came with the low profile split brackets, adapters, s-video and component converters......absolutely everything I needed. My agp factor was not easy to find a card for and this card is awesome considering the limitations of AGP. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a low profile AGP card to try this one.......it is PERFECT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings old PCs back to life!, December 7, 2009

By	S. Lionel (NH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I had an old (2004) Dell Optiplex GX270 that I used occasionally, running XP. I installed Windows 7, but the old GeForce 4 card was not up to Windows Aero. This new PNY card was just the (inexpensive) ticket to bring the graphics performance a bit closer to the present and Windows 7 had a driver for it. This card is probably more than I needed, but hey, the price was right!

It's nice that it has both DVI and VGA outputs (I used DVI) and it includes a dongle for compoent video output, not that I intend to use them. A DVI to VGA adapter is also included. I can see the appeal of the low-profile brackets to HTPC builders as well. For me, the use of a passive heatsink was a very strong plus as I like my systems silent.

No frills in the box - the CD has just drivers - but I just throw out the games usually included anyway!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good performance for the retro AGP bus, October 25, 2009

By	Gletkin (Marietta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

The video card arrived quickly and was packed well. The PNY card doesn't boast a super frame rate or blistering graphics processing power, but it fits my older AGP motherboard slot, and meets my requirements to a T. It uses a gorilla sized heat sink instead of the more common electric fan for cooling. Both of this card's predecessors went to their reward because of fan failures after years of almost constant running.

The VCG62256AEB provides an excellent picture to a Samsung 22" LCD monitor. Installation was easy, with only the tight quarters of a four-slot motherboard hindering a perfect installation. Ubuntu and XP Pro recognized the card and used hi-res drivers immediately. XP performance was further enhanced with an update to the latest Nvidia drivers.

This weekend I added a Windows 7 triple-boot to the same computer. Win7 recognized the card, worked immediately, and ran smoothly from the start. The card is an excellent buy, solid performer, and easy to install. PNY has already sent the rebate.
