What's great about it: easy to install and ok preformance
What's not so great: Lack of cooling fan, some overheating
I have had this video card for about a year now, it seems to work fine. I was not willing to spend a whole lot of money when I upgraded my factory PC. I do not do much gaming...just alot of photo/video editing. If you are looking for something to start out with...I recommend this card. It is easy to install and as long as you dont modify a bunch of junk...it will be alright. I will once again be upgrading to another PNY card because I was so happy with this one. Also, Tech support is good when you need it! Hope this helps.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy Installation, works good with most games
What's not so great: Not fast enough
This product is great for an intermediate gamer and/or video editing/ 3D Graphics. But it doesn't work with the higher performance games like "Star Trek Legacy" and games like that. For Video Editing and 3D Graphics, it's okay, it's okay if you're not doing super textured and detailed things. Other than that get the card if you're not a huge gamer with the new games or a 3D graphics person that puts a lot of detail on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: What Pros?
What's not so great: Horrible graphics, overheating, shotty performance
I would stay clear of this card, for both AGP and PCI. The card, ran games horribly (Flight Simulator X, FS2004, CFS3, and Il2 Sturmovik) and it overheated quickly. I returned this, and wanted my money back, which was wasted on a horrible card.
NEVER buy the 5200

What's great about it: Easy Hardware Installation
What's not so great: Trouble with the Drivers/Monitor
Hardware install went well. Also upgraded to a new monitor at the same time and had trouble with the video drivers/ monitors resolution settings. Had to uninstall drivers, using old CRT, then hooking up new monitor and re-installing drivers using the driver disc. (Let Windows ask for the drivers) After all that, the card seems to be working great!!!
System: Emachine; AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.9 GHZ; Windows XP-SP2; Monitor: Acer AL2016W

What's great about it: Good price, easy install, works well with Vista
What's not so great: Not the fastest card
Works much better than the older ATI Radeon card I replaced. Works well in WinXP. I was also pleased as I have a dual-boot with Vista Home Premium and the performance rating I had with the previous card was simply 1. With this card it was 2.6 and Aero worked well which never worked with the other card. This was an inexpensive upgrade that was an big performance upgrade!

I bought this about 2 months ago and it extremely good for the price. It was a lot better than my on board graphics that came with my PC. The main game I play is 18 Wheels of Steel: haulin and it playes it really good. I would definently recommend this for anybody who doesn't want to pay a fortune.

Although this video card won't work on some of the latest games, it works great on most. I bought 4 of these cards for my kids and my own computer(s). The kid's computers were only 400 mhz processors, but with the video card, they were able to run games like Halo2. None of the cards I bought had any problems. Unless you plan on running the latest games like Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter, this card will work fine at a good price.

I am really satisfied with getting the card not only because of the great price, but for the quality that it has produced. I would defiantly tell anyone to pick this up if there searching for a low priced card that does the job.

This is a good card to update from onboard motherboard graphics and you dont have to update your power supply.
