I decided to go with the Sparkle 8400GS PCI because a relative of mine bought a wide-screen LCD monitor, but didn't realize that their computer did not support them. (The SIS 661 chipset is infamous for having issues with 1440x900...while the desktop was still visible, the 4:3 output was upscaled and stretched to fit the monitor's 16:10 and caused people to look short and fat in pictures, etc.)Since the computer was only used for email, looking at pictures, and general surfing, I figured that by adding more RAM and upgrading the graphics card, the machine's service life could be extended by several years. With a long-term solution in mind, I went with a fanless card since it's entirely maintenance-free. Also, I went with the 256MB over the 512MB/1GB models since there was no added benefit in my application. Overall, the card's been perfect and installed without any drama ~ basically I uninstalled the existing display drivers, popped in the new card, and installed the nVidia drivers.For the more technical minded:1) The 8400GS GPU is natively PCIe, so for these PCI editions, a bridge chip is employed. This bridge chip presents itself as a first generation PCIe x1 connection, but that is already more bandwidth than what the PCI bus will carry. What this means is that the PCI 8400GS is actually bottlenecked by the PCI bus and will have measurably inferior performance when compared to the PCIe version. (This also implies that getting a much more powerful GPU for the PCI bus is overkill since it will also be bottlenecked!)2) There are actually two versions of the 8400GS: there is the original G86 version which has been discontinued, and the current G98. The G86 has 16 SP's for dramatically better 3D performance but has limited HD video acceleration support. The new G98 version only has 8 SP's but adds improved HD video acceleration so video processing can be offloaded to the GPU, minimizing CPU utilization when watching supported video types. To partially compensate for the loss of half of the stream processors in the G98 version, nVidia boosted the GPU and Shader clocks, but there is really no way to make up for the lost hardware - 3D performance is down nearly ~40% from the original G86.

Keep in mind that this card's heat sink (probably because it avoid using a fan) requires two PCI slot widths. Check that your system has space before you buy it.

I purchased this for a dual monitor setup and am quite happy with the results. The installation was smooth and fairly simple. I was up and running in minutes. I don't need fast graphics for gaming. I just use it for music recording, and it completely satisfies my hopes. The only thing to keep in mind is that the card's heat sink is slightly wide. In my case, the card was too wide to fit next to my PCI audio card. So I swapped PCI slots and all was fine. Would recommend.
