Good performance for price [Posted on 2005-05-18] Purchased card via another retailer. Installation was easy. Own a Dell 1.8 Ghz with upgraded RAM to 768MB. Removed my old 64MB nVidia MX2 card and installed new 5500OC card in AGP slot. Did not have to remove old driver (make sure you have the latest driver from website). Nvidia has the unified driver and recognized the new card. Had to change resolution and that was the installation process. More eye candy and details. No lock ups or stalls to date. Very happy with card. Playing Half2, Counter Strike Source, Call of Duty, etc. Haven't tried Doom 3 yet. Didn't want to spend more money on card due to CPU speed. Also card required 250watt power supply which I had. The 5500 card and upgraded RAM made a significant difference to gaming. Certainly you can't max all settings but good performance for price.
