I own a old DELL Dimension 2300 with a Celeron processor . year ago I upgrade the audio with a 24-bit sound card , and recently upgrade the memory to the full 1 gig of RAM that it 'll take . I have be work off of the on-board video all this time , however , which do not drive a new lcd hd monitor I be give to it be full 1440 x 900 resolution . I also get addict to a online game which be nearly impossible to play so I need to bring the video a little closer to today 's standard . the Nvidia GeForce 6200 do all of this for I , so if you be in a similar situation , and like I can not afford to go make Bill Gates richer right now then get this card . not only do it make online game play better and drive my lcd monitor at the proper resolution , when I watch dvd on my computer now it seem as if you can reach into the monitor ! the picture be that real . and installation be EASY . if you know how to install a card in you computer then you be all set . I even drag the old CRT monitor out & connect it to the on-board video thinking I would have to select the new card to `` turn it on '' , but when I powered-up the computer both monitor come on ! the software be very user-friendly and contain simple , easy to understand instruction that allow you to adjust nearly every parameter of the card . if I need another card like this I 'll look at EVGA Corporation again FIRST . excellent product .
