For my ancient secondary computer with WinXP SP3 I needed an AGP graphics card which the dual monitoring beherscht (extended desktop over two 19 "-Hanns-G TFT monitors). After the usual electrical and industrial products (the shipping was acquired by Amazon) , the map was also built right here lurked the first problem, since the bracket -. even compared to the dismantled FX5200 graphics Arte - did not meet the standard dimensions The bent by 90 ° edge on Internal thread had to with a bit of flair. . be bent into shape Furthermore, it should be mentioned in passing that the card - contrary to the description - indeed active, is cooled by fans but Fortunately this is relatively quiet.. As produced in China map without Sourcing was because I invited the latest driver from the AMD website down (Ati was a few years ago acquired by AMD). Unfortunately, the driver on the setup routine did not install. So, then the next attempt to driver installation on the supplied CD. This also did not succeed in the midst of the process during the installation stopped. It was then extracted the AMD driver package and installed manually through the Windows Device Manager. After restarting both monitors then ran respectively in the resolution 1440 x 900 with 32 bit color depth. About the display settings then let also enable the extended desktop. As far as I was so happy. What should, however, emphasize the further course I then found not funny: When the computer is started right after the BIOS information is displayed on the screen, I noticed already on that the graphics card enlisted as a Radeon 7500 Mobility, so I by the hardware data GPU-Z have read under Windows: It was confirmed that the investments made by the supplier specifications have nothing to do with reality, because it is not about the Radeon 7500 chip (RV 200), but was on the map, the 7500 Mobility soldered variant (RV 200 M7). That chip was built around the turn of the millennium in notebooks. This is significantly less powerful, runs only as AGP 4x (and not, as indicated with AGP 8x). Furthermore, in DirectX 7 conclusion by no means there is DirectX 8.1 support. The other tech. Details will save me, because they can also be tracked on the internet. That was, to pity my time for this, I might not build out the card and send it back, especially since I do not need more power for a little surfing and someone with two monitors. Who before has, however, yet to play a few games and DirectX 8.1 and AGP 8x-speed could not live without, will not be happy with the card. In addition, I hope the seller to correct the tech. Data carries. As these differ from the offered but very I forgive only two stars.
