   Excellent for what it is designed for

   Pros: Gives promise of Vista Aero to embedded graphics platforms

   Cons: Slow for gaming

   Summary: Of course PCI is pointless for gaming and complaining about PCI performance is about as obvious as pointing out that the sky is blue.

   What people are looking for in a “higher end” PCI card is giving their old machines compatibility is newer software; namely Microsoft Vista.

   “Perfect for a particular niche.”

   Pros: Small and cute. The most powerful PCI-based video card out there. Well designed active cooling system. 1080p HDTV support.

   Cons: Expensive. Bus speed hampers gaming preformance to the point where the card is only good for low resolution gaming (i.e. 800×600 or lower for silky smooth framerates). Lack of TV out cables.

   Summary: Considering that this card was made for the aging PCI bus, it’s a fantastic performer, particularly for a mini Media Center style PC that simply does not have any PCIe or AGP slots built into the motherboard. It is also well suited for Adobe Photoshop and other graphics design
