I bought this a week ago and have been nothing but impressed with its performance. This card runs Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, and The Witcher smoothly on medium settings (not to mention older games like KOTOR 2 which I can now run at Maximum settings!). If you have an ancient PC like mine (3 year old Celeron D 2.8 MHz) whose motherboard only offers standard PCI slots, then purchase this card. I recently upgraded to this card from the 6200 256 MB OC card, and the difference is immediately, and pleasantly, noticed. All applications run faster, smoother and, although I am sure this is only my imagination, appear more vibrant. This card is an improvement over the 6200 which, although workable if tweaked correctly, had crashing issues with some applications. I can't say enough good things about this card. Excellent product! Excellent value!

I have an older PC in a low profile case that I wanted to make into a simple media center. Problem was the original video card was really old and didn't have the chops to work in that capacity, nor did it have drivers available for anything past Windows XP and I was going to run Windows 7 on it.I bought a different low profile card with a fan on it, but the constant whine of the fan was horrible and distracting. That's when I stumbled into this card.This is a great card, fits perfectly in my low profile case, and is totally silent. There are recent drivers for it that work with Windows 7. Truly, it was plug and play - stuck it in the computer and everything just worked. Not only that, but the price is totally right - I didn't pay hundreds of dollars for a card I won't get the value from.If you have an older computer that only has PCI in it, this is a great choice. I totally recommend it.

Like many other people reviewing this video card, I bought it to upgrade my old Dell 2400 with its original Celeron CPU running at 2.08 GHZ. Installing it was a bit strange because I didn't install the driver first. I just installed the card and booted up, expecting an alert about the driver. The alert never came, possibly because my DSL modem was still on-line. It was a goofball move on my part, but maybe people would like to know that NVidia pretty much covered all the bases in this regard.So, to answer the most important question; YES THIS NVidia CARD WORKS PERFECTLY WITH MY OLD DELL DIMENSION 2400 with the orig Celeron chip still installed. (Read on about my CPU upgrade.)#1 Once the NVidia was through installing its driver, then negotiating with my new ASUS ML228H 22-Inch Ultra-Slim Widescreen LED Monitor, I noticed the following; ***Jaw-dropping clarity, resolution and speed. (Speed meaning an improved frame-rate at YouTube, Hulu, and the few videos and movies I had in my download folder.) YouTube came up to about 20fps, Hulu about 25fps with my old CPU still installed. (Not too shabby for my old fossil Dell.) ***Seamless integration with my system and recently added 2GB of new Cosair RAM. (Yes, the Dell 2400 REALLY DOES accept 2GB of ram. (1GB per slot. Buy faster mem chips than you need in case you upgrade your CPU as I decided to do.)I bought this; Corsair Memory VS2GBKIT400C3 2 GB PC3200 400MHz 184-Pin DDR Desktop Memory Kit ***Seamless integration with my new Pentium 4 CPU running at 3.06 GHz. (I highly recommend this CPU for all Dell 2400 owners as it was one of the only two options originally offered by Dell. (I bought - Intel TRAY PENTIUM 4 3.06GHZ-HT 512K 533FSB S478 (RK80532PE083512 ) It installed very easily and booted up flawlessly right from the start. It's been perfect ever since. (Even though it was listed as "USED works like new.")This new chip lifted my frame-rates to 24fps for film projects, and a full 30fps for standard Videos at BOTH Hulu and YouTube - Something I thought impossible for my Dell no matter how I upgraded it. (YAY! No more video hiccups and dropped frames!)#2 After the installation of the new CPU, I only saw a bit of an improvement in frame rates etc., but eventually I had to shut down for one thing or another, and when I booted up again, the first time I got on-line I noticed some activity that worried me a bit. Shortly after, I realized that the Invidia card was still on "Auto Update," and had already installed an updated driver and whatever else it seemed to think I needed. Ordinarily this would have upset me a bit, but when I saw the incredible improvements, I bit my lip and simply enjoyed myself. It was only after that automatic update that I saw the framerates lift to 24 and 30 for film and video (respectively.)#3 If you have a slow old Dell like mine, I INSIST that you sell your sister, your car and maybe even your toilet to get a few bucks together and make the improvements I did. The RAM, and CPU are NOT that expensive, and even the LED Flatscreen I bought was only $140 here at Amazon (What an incredible monitor.) Those three additions together, pulled me away from even considering a whole new machine. I'm going to be happy for 3 to 5 years at least! (Although I must admit that I am NOT a game-player, so playing the latest games at full speed isn't important to me.)I apologize for the lengthy review, but it took me quite a while to discover all this stuff, and I figure that anybody interested in this NVidia card has got an old machine with PCI slots and not the newer PCI-Express slots. For me, NVidea aimed this product straight at the older machine "target market," and in my opinion, they hit the bulls-eye. I could not possibly be any happier with this product. And with all the other changes, there isn't anything my system does that doesn't happen in a blink of the eye! Boot up is faster, my desktop icons flash across the screen in an instant, and even my hard-drive activity has increased in speed.For those who are interested, in all my searching, I discovered that the single most important change I made was the P4 CPU chip. In several forums, I found the the L2 Cache it featured, (512 KB,) was much more powerful than what the Celeron chip had. This cache deals with core instruction sets and since it does this work right on the chip, the large size of the cache has a huge and immediate effect on the overall performance of the machine. I proved this out for myself, which was why I let myself buy a USED CPU chip. (My thinking was, that a used CPU, might possibly have fewer hours on it than my old Celeron chip.) Besides, these P4s are becoming more and more rare each day. (Get yours now!)I would recommend the Sparkle GeForce 8400GS to anybody with an older machine with standard PCI slots. If it added a burden to my puny Power-Supply, I don't seem to notice it so far. (Registered Temperatures are still well within acceptable specs.) The provided driver and included software seems to deal with all the expected problems one might expect with such a powerful upgrade. (A damned miracle IMO.)I highly suggest the other upgrades too, but make sure you do your homework. Verify what I have discovered, and follow any and all tips when it comes to installation. (Like fresh new thermal-paste if you upgrade your CPU.)Happy Holidays!
