ATI Garbage never again!.......2006-11-04

I really do NOT like ATI. This is my second video card from ATI and always there is a problem that ATI does not recognize and fix! IF you search ATI X700 Pro Problems - you will find a looot to read! This card has a lot of problems and ATI does not do any **** ! If you have dual video, two monitors you will have a lot of problems! If you have this card and try to update the software for new programs and games, you will have problems! Your monitor will blick forever until you disable all ATI programs and dll's in msconfig... You can NOT install any new driver since june 05 or nyour movies will not work ... I really hate ATI and I will never, never buy anything from ATI anymore... A lot of problems ! SEARCH BEFORE you chose!!!
ATI never again!!! I could write much more ... but... just search!
2 years card!

Don't buy the nVIDIA 6600 GT, buy this instead...It's a great card for amateur gamers.......2006-07-26

I've owned the card for about 5 months and it works great for COD2, Call of Duty, BF 1942, BF Vietnam, The Sims, and Flight Simulator 2004. But it has problems for high settings in BF2, The Movies, Rome: Total War, and The Sims 2. I bought this card as an alternative for the two nVIDIA 6600 GT OC's that I had to return to FRYS because the memory chip blew when I tried to play BF2 (that's what BFG tech support said). So if your thinking of buying an nVIDIA 6600, don't, buy this card instead. If you want a good ATI graphics card to play fairly demanding games, I'd recommend that you jump for the X1600 Pro for $70 more ($199.99), you'll be happier. The bottom line is if you're for a budget graphics card this one will meet your needs. I'm going to replace this card with an ATI X1800 XT, much better graphics performance.

X700 PRO PCIe.......2006-04-26

I got this card 2 months ago to replace my onboard ATI X200 express pci-e chip set. I was playing HALO and FAR CRY at min. video settings and was planing to get TR: Legends. When I first got the card and driver installed I switched everything in HALO to MAX. The X700 worked great HOWEVER after 2 days I started having graphic problems which got worse quickly to the point where my XP Home boot screen was full of lines and blocks. I returned the card and had a new one within 10 days. The second one kept over heating. Running with the case open I saw that the cooling fan on the X700 NEVER ran even when the card was very hot. I sent back the second one also! I now have a 3rd one but it has worked GREAT for weeks. The fan is a little loud but at least I can here it running. HALO, Far Cry and TR:L all work great. I also do some video editing which is now faster. I gave this 4 stars because I belive is was a good value. ATI was very good about replacing.

Great Card!.......2006-03-03

Unlike the other reviewer, I have not had any trouble with this card. It works like a dream, especially for the games I like to play. I am now playing Morrowind and compared to my previous machine, it comes alive!

I have it installed in an HP a1350n with the AMD dual core 4200 processor and it works great. My only worry was if the power supply could handle it and so far, I have not had a single problem. Highly recommended if you don't have the bucks for an X800 or greater card.
