Great Product, January 31, 2006
This review is from: eVGA e-GeForce4 MX4000 128 MB GPU (Personal Computers)
I've got an E-Machine T2958 with the integrated graphics and what a difference this card makes! My kids got a couple of games for Christmas that required the graphics upgrade and was pleased on everything from the price to the ease of installation.

Best video card for the money, May 12, 2007
This review is from: eVGA e-GeForce4 MX4000 128 MB GPU (Personal Computers)
This card is great, especially if you want a second video output to a tv with S-video(the cord that has several pins coming out).
On a computer with a 2.6 GHz Celeron processor and 256 MB of RAM, the NVidia control panel took a long time to load, but once it loads, it's pretty useful. You won't have to run that control panel but maybe once anyway. The control panel I speak of is actually the downloaded program from their website, I didn't use the installer on the CD due to a crack in the disc(shipping's fault, I'm sure).
This card may not be the best for 3D gaming, but it's good for everything else. I even ran Google Sketchup through it(low-level 3D program). I haven't tried it with 3D games, but from the specs, I wouldn't expect it to play the latest games very smoothly. Check the game's system requirements.
One caveat, though: I'm sure this applies to all video cards, so I won't count this against it, but, if your computer uses integrated graphics(video output built in to the motherboard rather than a card), the card will deactivate that output. You may be able change the settings to reactivate the card through the BIOS, but that's only recommended for people comfortable with going into the computer's BIOS. Read the manual before going into the BIOS.
In spite of that caveat, you can still have dual monitor support by using the VGA output AND the S-video output on this card. The S-video output is lower resolution, though, because it's designed to go to a TV, which has lower quality than a computer monitor. You can activate the dual output through the NVidia control panel.
All-in-all, a great card.
