EVGA puts out good products. This video card works fine in Windows XP with updated drivers from EVGA ot Nvidia. from Buy.com I needed this 128mb card to replace a 64mb card so XP would quit crashing. It worked just fine... from Buy.com I actually have two of these cards. It provides a very good picture quite superior to the prior 5200 card that I had. from Tigerdirect.com I solved this by getting an S-Video to composite converter (for another $25...) which gave a blurry colour picture which was wholly unsatisfactory. The nView does not seem to split the output correctly and will not detect the second dispay. Maybe the nView is only for dual display over a monitor and a TV or maybe there is some incantation to make it work but on the whole I couldn't be bothered and went to Best Buy to get a branded version of the GeForce 7600 which works perfectly. Get what you pay for I suppose. from Amazon.com I solved this by getting an S-Video to composite converter (for another $25...) which gave a blurry colour picture which was wholly unsatisfactory.

I' learned my lesson though and decided to get a CHAINTECH GSA73GT GeForce 7300GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card from Newegg. from Newegg.com It's hot (but not unusally so) and the the heatsink is loose.

Compatibility with older 4x agp as well as 8x agpCons: When compared to the 6200, this 5200 slows down basic computer operations, as in slow startup, slow hard drive, very slow and jerky scrolling, and it also renders motion video with occaisional artifacts, some flashing and slow speeds. from Newegg.com Pros: Incredibly sharp print.
