Pros: Video card works wonderfully in Jaunty 9.04 with driver v1.80 installed using Envy on a Dell S2409W 1920x1080 resolution. I don't play games but Compiz Fusion works like butter. from Newegg.com Pros: I'm using this with Ubuntu 9.04 and everything is working fine. I have it set up with Twinview using the S-Video output with a TV to watch movies and stuff. Cons: NVidia settings dialog reports this as having 512MB of RAM. from Newegg.com Pros: Used this card to replace onboard GMA 3100 video. Seems to do the trick. from Newegg.com Pros: Good performance for the cost. Cons: None at this price point. Other Thoughts: I bought this card to replace the lackluster on board video. I'm not a hard core gamer but this card allows me to get on Second Life using my PC at work. from Newegg.com Pros: I bought this to replace the on board video and let my system have the full memory output. I poped in the msi 8400gs PCIe video card and installed quickly, connected my vga cable and turned on my pc and it's running without a hitch. from Newegg.com Pros: It's the exact same physical card as my MSI 7300LE. Look it up, I'm not lying. from Newegg.com Decent size core clock with a good size memory for the money. Cons: Its a tad hot even with fan maxxed, but that is with OC. A bit small 256mb and 64 bit for my needs. Other Thoughts: I have been very happy with this MSI card for the time I've owned it, am upgrading to an ATI 4850 1gig to bolster gaming performance but overall a great card for games on lower settings. from Newegg.com Pros: CheapFastit boosted my Counter Strike: Source framerate on the stress test from 60 to 90 FPS. Cons: only 256 mb gddrgddr 2no hdmi adapter included Other Thoughts: Put in a new system as a placeholder for a higher end graphics card, never expected such a substantial difference in the speed of the computer, or improvement in the quality of gaming over the motherboard's integrated graphics. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap price, good starting card Cons: For having 256mb ram, you'd think it be better than an AGP ATI Radeon 9800 pro - but it isn't. BE SURE TO RUN WINDOWS UPDATE ON A FRESH INSTALL BEFORE UPDATING DRIVERS! from Newegg.com Pros: Great budget card for a casual machine. small HSF and relatively quiet Cons: No a gamers card by any means Other Thoughts: If your building a productivity machine or budget box and want to step up from the on board video, this card is a great value. from Newegg.com
