| I was so pleased after ordering several other video cards trying to get one that was low profile for my slimline 1/2 height desktop. This one wasn't explicitly labeled for use in low profile, but not only did it fit, it came with the low profile split brackets, adapters, s-video and component converters......absolutely everything I needed. My agp factor was not easy to find a card for and this card is awesome considering the limitations of AGP. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a low profile AGP card to try this one.......it is PERFECT!! |
Good performance for the retro AGP bus

The video card arrived quickly and was packed well. The PNY card doesn't boast a super frame rate or blistering graphics processing power, but it fits my older AGP motherboard slot, and meets my requirements to a T. It uses a gorilla sized heat sink instead of the more common electric fan for cooling. Both of this card's predecessors went to their reward because of fan failures after years of almost constant running.
The VCG62256AEB provides an excellent picture to a Samsung 22" LCD monitor. Installation was easy, with only the tight quarters of a four-slot motherboard hindering a perfect installation. Ubuntu and XP Pro recognized the card and used hi-res drivers immediately. XP performance was further enhanced with an update to the latest Nvidia drivers.
This weekend I added a Windows 7 triple-boot to the same computer. Win7 recognized the card, worked immediately, and ran smoothly from the start. The card is an excellent buy, solid performer, and easy to install. PNY has already sent the rebate. |
Brings old PCs back to life!

I had an old (2004) Dell Optiplex GX270 that I used occasionally, running XP. I installed Windows 7, but the old GeForce 4 card was not up to Windows Aero. This new PNY card was just the (inexpensive) ticket to bring the graphics performance a bit closer to the present and Windows 7 had a driver for it. This card is probably more than I needed, but hey, the price was right!
It's nice that it has both DVI and VGA outputs (I used DVI) and it includes a dongle for compoent video output, not that I intend to use them. A DVI to VGA adapter is also included. I can see the appeal of the low-profile brackets to HTPC builders as well. For me, the use of a passive heatsink was a very strong plus as I like my systems silent.
No frills in the box - the CD has just drivers - but I just throw out the games usually included anyway! |

| My old GeForce MX 200 64MB Graphics Card would freeze video play during both streaming and normal movie files. With this new 256MB card, I haven't had a problem yet. Installation was easy and it kept my old Compaq 5410US from going to the scrap yard. Highly recommended for computers with the older AGP 4X slot. |
Makes a big difference

| I am fairly new to working on computers. I don't know much. I can switch some hard drives from masters to slaves, add memory, just your basic run of the mill stuff when it comes to the inside of a computer. I'm learning as I go so I figured this would be the perfect oppurtunity to try and fix an old cpu running an integrated 32mb video card I was given. My motherboard had 3 pci and one agp slot. I read that the agp cards work a bit better than the pci's so I went for this one. I figured that is a reasonable price to get a computer doing what I need it to do, instead of tossing it and buying a new one. It was easy enough finding a video card that was AGP and DDR2, but unfortunately this system is a little old school and needed an AGP DDR card. Luckily after searching through all of them I found this one. It took a matter of minutes to hook it up and the videos and games play so smooth now. You can get driver and motherboard updates for it once you install it from the websites, which is a big plus. and the NVIDIA control panel lets you tweak it, until it works just right for your personal satisfaction. |
