PC Hardware : PNY Verto GeForce 8500GT 512MB Video Card
I bought this card based on all the great reviews to replace a stock Nvidia Quadro FX card on my Dell workstation. The performance of this card on some 3D intensive game was ok, not great. The game was still playable but it really lagged when there were much actions going on on my 22-inch wide screen monitor. I had to set the game graphic setting to low. The on-board fan was quiet during the first few days of use, but then it started to get noisy. I could live with the performance of this card after all it has a low price; however, I couldn't tolerate the noisy fan. I have a quite pc, and the fan noise from this card really stands out. I have decided to return this card back to Amazon.

Hauppauge 1200 WinTV HVR-850 HDTV Tuner Stick
Hauppauge 1191 WinTV-HVR-950Q TV Tuner Stick/Personal Video Recorder with Clear QAM and Remote Control (Black)

I checked the previous reviews here and tried both 950Q and 850 (purchased locally), I ended up return both units. The HW seems to be OK, the issue is with the software, it freezes and crashes way too often. I think if you have a WinXP system without MCE, you don't want to consider this brand. The software is written poorly: - On Analog or Non-HD digital channel, it takes 40-50% of CPU power on my Vaio S560, 1.8Ghz Pentium M + 1.5G memory. On HD digital channel, it takes 70-80% CPU power. Switching from Analog to HD would crash the WinTV version 6, Switching from Analog to Non-HD digital then to HD is the way to workaround ... Read More

I would recommend this card for game play such as flight sim.

The fan is loud, if you don't mind the fan being loud...go for it.

The games I play that I wanted this card for are Counter Strike: Source, Half Life 2, Morrowind, and Combat Arms. This card did it. For the price it can't be beaten. I bought mine for $45 brand new from Amazon. In 2005 I bought the 5500 series for $150 lol. This card is great. Just pop it in the PCI slot, install the software and you're good to go!

PC Hardware : AMD ATI Radeon X1300 Pro 256 MB AGP Card
I purchased this card when my old card hit the dust. I couldn't beat the deal I found through Amazon. This is an upgrade to my 9600 Pro. I immediately noticed the difference. I can suddenly see a lot more detail in all of my games and they run just as fast if not faster. This card came out about two years ago as of my purchase, 8/08, so it's not a top of the line card, but for under $50.00 how can you go wrong. I definitely recommend this card.

This is a great graphics card for the price. It had a no hassle install and works like a champ. For the majority of users out there (non-gamers), this card will be more than enough.

Mother Board Asus P5NSLI
RAM Crucial DDR2 533 (Overclocked to 600MHz)

Pros -

90 Day trade up program
Fairly Low power requiremnts
Low fan noise
Single Slot design (this is a plus for me as my case is a bit on the small side)
Do not generate too much heat (Ditto)
Overclocked by the Factory :-)

Cons
These cards are long, I had to re ... Read More

I bought this PCI card because I wanted to play Portal and my machine is old.

My machine specs:
Dell Dimension 2400
2.66gh processor
768mb ram
XP Pro still running SP2
normal integrated graphics card

If you're running into problems these tips might help:
Problem 1) It's not recognizing the new card at all, you need to go into your bios before windows even starts up and tell it to auto select the graphics card or set it to PCI (my machine only had auto)

Problem 2) If you're seeing that it's using the correct graphics card while loading before windows starts, but then goes blank until you plug it back into your old integrated slot, you need to go into your Control Panel > Administrative tools > Computer management > Device manager ... Read More

This card was a great buy for the price. I can play any game on my pc now. Although it fit nicely in my tower, buyers should be aware of this card ...it's about 10 inches long. I would suggest this card for anyone loooking to build a pc.

This is only $5 more than the 8500gt with a fansink and it is much quieter.

I didn't realize how much noise was coming from my video card fan until I installed this card.
