Purchased to make it easy to use with my 22'' monitor as well as my 42'' HDTV. Cables setup is a snap, DVI to monitor, HDMI to HDTV. The picture quality is great. Wireless keyboard and mouse mean all I have to do is sit and enjoy. Great price for a media center set up. Easy install (download latest drivers 1st), easy set up. And yes ordered online Sunday evening, arrived Tuesday just after lunch. Fast Delivery! |
Excellent Card!!!

I purchased the card because it was one of the best cards I could use with my lower wattage power supply. For my money it has performed to my expectations. I would purchase another. |

Wanted it for BluRay playback, has worked just fine so far, also liked the low profile, the fan on graphics cards has always been the first thing to go out on me so I like the fanless heatsink. |

I wanted this card for the DVI feature that didn't pull too much power as I have a 300w system. I am sorry to report that I was unable to use this product due to a reverse motherboard that had a capacitor right next to the PCIe slot, so the heat sync didn't fit.I had to find another card. |
