I have a older pentium 4 1.8 ghz computer . it be run pretty slow and I need it to do some photoshop work . I reload window xp and update all the driver . max out the memory on the motherboard -lrb- 2 ghz -rrb- . I read some review and this Video Card stick out . it be a agp card which be the best option I have for the motherboard and it offer the most amount of memory for a agp card . when I finish the upgrade to the computer I have a real powerhouse for image editing and pc Games . the card work beautifully and I can really tell the difference in the image quality and speed of game play . I be so impressed with this video card . the other negative review appear to revolve around compatability problem . its really a matter of `` luck of the draw '' with any hardware or software upgrade . there be countless manufacturer out they make hundred of different component in a computer . there be go to be time where two piece of hardware simply do not get along . who do you blame ? the negative review seem to blame the video card . well , who be to say it be not the motherboard , bio , Faulty AGP\/PCI\/PCIE slot or power source ? it could be anything . I be just one of the lucky one I guess . I would suggest you give this one a whirl . it will install and run without a problem and it will be one of the best upgrade you can make .
