Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Unstable for many games
Review: This is a card that I thought would solve all my problems with all the video cards on the market out their. First let me say on my older computer a pentium 2 96 ram instalation was a hassle had to find the correct jumpers on the motherboard to switch and of course no documentation on this at all. Then i purchased a new computer athlon 700 mhs 128 mb ram and the real problems started first of all guillemo even states their are problems with this processor and if you use a ka7 motherboard well things are going to be miserable for you. Example old computer which had only 400 speed ran games such as freespace 2, starlancer, homeworld , panzer elite great with the card, now with a faster computer and more memory you would think things would be better well to tell you all these games were jumpy and frame rate sluggish.Hard to believe, and the new drivers only made things worse its a wonder I gave this card 3 stars. Too late to change my mind.

Summary: Best GeForce 256, but GeForce II MX is better.
Review: This was a good choice for people looking for a good card at a low price. With the introduction of the GeForce II MX chipset, there's no reason to get this card. I gave it 4 stars beacuse it is still a good card. If you want a MX card I suggest the Hercules (Same company) 3D Propet II MX (not on Amazon yet).

It is a good card, but for people who can't afford a GTS card get a MX card.

Summary: excelent card! look at the q3 benchmarks!
Review: yes! the long awaited muscle for your machine is here! this nVidiA powered card has all the bells and whistles. dvi and TV out, 32 bit colors, DDR ram (very fast memory) and 32 megs of ram to kick the stuffing out of the other card manufactures, even 3Dfx. HA! the price is not that bad either.
