This card meets Spore's requirement. However, the card requires a power supply of at least 350W. In the midst of my frustrations of trying to refurbish my Dell Dimension 3000 to work with this card, I was thinking to simply get a newer computer. Yet the new and cheap desktop computers I visited at Best Buy and Staples have power supply box up to 300W. (Had to ask the guys to open the box to find the watt data.) Nor would their integrated video port meet the Spore criteria. If I purchased one of them, it would mean that I had to exchange this PCI card to one for PCIe bus. The gaming computers on eBay are around $1000, which would be an overkill for my kids. In conclusion, this card does work. Refer my comment to Indy's fine review.

I installed this PCI card in a Dell Dimension 2400 running Windows 7 Professional. The reason I upgraded my video was to run Windows 7 Aero. It worked perfectly from the beginning and Aero is now up and running. I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website and put them on my desktop for easy access. I made sure the video setting in the BIOS was set to auto. I disabled my onboard video in Device Manager. Shut down the computer and installed the card. Turned on the computer and ran the video driver software that was on my desktop. The driver software ran, found the card and installed the drivers. Rebooted the computer and I was up and running. The manual for this card says it needs a 350 watt power supply but I installed it fine with the stock 200 watt power supply that was already in my computer. I have been using this card for over 2 weeks with no problems.

Considering that this is the same item as the one I purchased from Staples, product code VCG84512SPPB, then this is an awesome card. It is a PCI card and my understanding is that this is one of the older interfaces on motherboards. PCI-e(PCI-Express) is not the same as plain ol' PCI. I installed this graphics card on Windows XP Service Pack 1. With all of the drivers I could get through microsoft update and off the CD, I still could not change the color to 32-bit. It would only allow me to have 4 bit. And at this setting, no computer games could run. After trying to reinstall this card many different ways with consulting PNY I finally discovered it on my own. I went directly to the Nvidia website and downloaded a 70MB driver update for this card in particular and ran it. Finally I got to choose the settings for the display and the desktop features it provides are awesome. It has a separate control panel to make your desktop windows move more fluidly. You could even "throw" windows into different corners. TO install this properly I had to set the BIOS' Primary Video Adapter to "auto." Depending on the type of computer, it may be a little different wording. The box comes with a note to do this. To get into BIOS, when the computer starts up you have to tap F2 when prompted. It may be different depending on the computer. I guess BIOS is also known as CMOS. Before installing the hardware in the computer, disable the integrated graphics adapter if there is one. This can be done by right clicking on my computer, click manage, then device manager, highlight display adapters, click the + to expand and disable it. If you are going to use two monitors, you can plug another monitor into the original VGA port because of course you want to plug your primary monitor into the graphics card to allow it to work with your games. Then re-enable the old graphics adapter to allow another monitor to work off that one. This week or so ordeal I had with getting my card to work properly was not fun and driver problems are not an uncommon I hear, but I came away successful.
