My <2-year-old PC is already a pretty fast machine, with an Intel 3.4 gig CPU and 2 gigs of RAM and on-board ATI-200, but it was straining and choppy with the graphics of current games like NWN2 MOB. On the other hand, I didn't want to spend $300 - $600 for a graphics card to upgrade a computer that only cost about $500 to begin with.

This card is the perfect solution! Not only is the price right in the ballpark of reasonability, but I was very surprised at the improvement of the quality of the graphics. On rerunning some of the gaming sequences, the improvement was simply astonishing!

Great value and performance from a proven supplier in ATI Radeon.

For the price, though, it’s a bargain. When my laptop crashed, I needed a new monitor to resurrect my desktop computer and this monitor has given a sharp stable picture when adjusted properly. If you need a good, inexpensive monitor, get this one but make sure you buy it brand new and not a refurbished model that could go dead on you in a few days to a week. You might save money with a refurbished one, but they almost always have problems– which is why they were taken back and presumably fixed in the first place. But many long years of shopping experiece has shown me that repaired monitors– or anything else for that matter– are never as good as they should be; they are a problem just waiting to happen. So remember: for a few extra dollars, buy new– you won’t be sorry.

I needed to replace my monitor for my home desk-top, and I was tight on funds, so I bought this. Obviously takes up more space than a flat screen monitor, but not as much space as some of the other “dinosaur” monitors.

I get a clear picture, and bright colors, so that’s good enough for me.

Another “old” product that I’m still using is the HP Deskjet 895cse – Printer – color – ink-jet – Legal, A4 – 600 dpi x 600 dpi – up to 10 ppm – capacity: 100 sheets – Parallel, USB. (Stop laughing – if something still works just fine, no sense throwing away money.)
