Great product
Review of ATI FireMV 2400 PCI Express by
BaTheWar
Advantages: Setup was without any problems
Disadvantages: Price a little high
...Knowledge Base section of the ATI FireMV website (accessed through contact us-->knowledge base) and made sure I have the .NET framework installed, along with a hot fix from Microsoft. I then opened up the system and inserted the card without a hitch. I should mention that the box contains both a full and half length bracket so there is no need to buy a half length bracket for small form factor systems.I booted up the computer and ran the installation ...

Review of XMDIA GeForce FX 5500 by
LLOYDS
Advantages: Easily Installed
Disadvantages: Poor Lifespan
...not a gamer and thus do not place a high workload on the card. Therefore I expect it to last more than 18 months. The box brags a lifetime warranty and I shall attempt to utilise that warranty, however, at time of press, the xmdia website was down. ...

Feature packed video card
Review of EVGA e-GeForce 8600 GT by

Advantages: Does more than you would expect from a card in this price range

The directions were also reasonably easy to follow, although I did have to download new drivers from EVGA's web site. The card itself works perfectly. It is fast and the ...

Do Not Buy
Review of ATI RADEON X1650 PRO by
Sash_015
Advantages: Was good when it Came Out
Disadvantages: Better Video Cards Out for less Money
Not Good, this video card is crap, in this day and age, a video card with this much lack of power at this price is a drastic rip off. The price is very bad, and this is just on the internet, expect to pay $50 to $100 more for retail.
By comparison, for retail, a 8 series Nvidia video card can be bought for only $50 more than the price of this video card. The earliest eight series Nvidia video card runs rings around this card, it is the equivalent ... ...must buy a card, do not buy this card.
If you do not have much money, I recommend a 7 series Nvidia video card. It is only $50 more than this card for retail, and therefore cheaper on the internet, but is still a solid choice and is much better than this video card. ...
