I buy a HP Compaq , refurbish , in 2004 . good computer but it have only 32 meg embedded video ram . in the past year , the computer have simply be unable to play movie and some streaming video on my 17 inch monitor . I have at one time install a 128 meg card with a fan in the AGP slot , and the card have burn out after a year . I decide to try this card , since it use a heat sink rather than a fan , and use a PCI slot -lrb- in case a faulty AGP slot have contribute to the older card 's burnout -rrb- . Works fine . I have even purchase a 21.5 inch monitor , which look very sharp use the digital output include with the card . I do find , use the software , that brightness should be turn down from 50 to 45 on both my old and new monitor . I also set the `` Peformance-Quality '' adjustment to `` Performance '' in order to avoid movement blur on my 2 m refresh screen . one warning : I do have a black screen for several hour , until I read the direction again , and change by bio setting from agp to pcus . when the instruction suggest you may need to check you bio , they mean it . good price and performance . fast delivery . I recommend this card as a solution for older computer .
