I have a older pc in a low profile case that I want to make into a simple media center . Problem be the original video card be really old and do not have the chop to work in that capacity , nor do it have driver available for anything past Windows xp and I be go to run Windows 7 on it . I buy a different low profile card with a fan on it , but the constant whine of the fan be horrible and distracting . that be when I stumble into this card . this be a great card , fit perfectly in my low profile case , and be totally silent . there be recent driver for it that work with Windows 7 . truly , it be plug and play - stick it in the computer and everything just work . not only that , but the price be totally right - I do not pay hundred of dollar for a card I will not get the value from . if you have a older computer that only have pcus in it , this be a great choice . I totally recommend it .
