Pros: Great performance considering that its not an Nvidea card!
Cons: Some compatibility issues.
The Bottom Line: All in All I would recommend this card just as long as it is installed with the new drivers.

| aschuste2's Full Review: ATI RADEON, (32 MB) AGP Video Card |
I bought the Radeon 32 DDR when I was building a computer for my friend. I had very high expectations for the card since it was ATI's latest addition to an excellent product line, and even though I am satisfied with the Radeon now, the road was not always clear. The Radeon caused many problems when I was setting up my friend's computer. It would cause the whole system to lock up when playing games or videos for no reason at all. I went to ATI's web site and downloaded the new drivers (a daunting task at over 10 megs) After the new drivers were installed everything was fine, and I was very impressed with the performance of the card. In doing some research about the problem I had, I discovered that the initial drivers included with the Radeon are known to have compatibility problems with some VIA chipsets. All in All I would recommend this card just as long as it is installed with the new drivers.
