Pros: Good price in respects to competition.
Easy installation, Lots of drivers

If you are running an older version of Windows then this card is good for its price
dzwick's Full Review: ATI RADEON 9000 PRO, (64 MB) AGP Video Card
I purchased the Radeon 9000 64MB about 2 months ago and was initially pleased with. However, I have come to realize that the card has a lot of compatibility issues with Windows XP. While playing 3d games the card frequently cause the game to hang which then results in computer automatically rebooting. After Windows restarts I receive the following error message, "...display device was unable to complete a drawing operation...the driver seems to be responsible for system instability." I am running an Athalon 2600 with 512 RAM, which is a fast enough machine to handle the games that I play, but this card causes the instability. I searched many tech forums and I found out that I am not alone with this problem. Many other Radeon/Gforce card owners have the same problems with Windows XP and these lines of cards. I have installed ATI's newest driver and other generic drivers but the problem persists. ATI's customer service did not help with problem because their online tech support consists of emailing you a FAQ for common problems, and that is the extent of their support. Overall I am not happy with product and I would like to extend a word of warning to those that use XP and are interested in this card.
