let first start off with what system I have . I have this HP DC5100 small form factor computer with pentium 4 3 GHz HT processor , 3 gb ram , and 40 gig hardrive . I recently install Windows Vista Ultimate which run good on it except for the on board video which would not let I run the Windows Aero and some other program like Windows dvd maker . I figure I would upgrade the video card for when my daughter would visit so they would have a decent computer to use . the video card install with no problem as long as you follow the instruction like disable the on board video first in bio and then install the card and then install the new driver in safe mode . the card do come with small profile kit so I can not understand why Amazon have a small profile kit that it tell you to buy with it . well , I waist my money on that ! well , not to much because the kit be only $ 6.95 well all and all the card work good with what I need . I would recommend the card if all you be look for be just run Windows Vista . I be not sure how it work for gaming because I be not in to that note : I run the base score again and it raise my score from a 1.9 to a 2.6 which be a shock . I think it would of be higher because the only thing I be lack be a video card from what it tell I . Windows Aero 2.6 and 3d business and gaming graphic be 3.9
