I've gained this graphics card recently because my old ATI 1950 has been broken. I did not want to spend too much money and there came to me this card, of course, very good. My system is already a few years old, I have a Athlon 3500 with 2GB of DDR Ram. Was previously ATI-user and am very happy with the Geforce so far. It runs quickly and reliably. The fan is indeed already audible but my other fan in the housing blow because with too tidy. Therefore, not so bad for me. I can put this graphics card every fond who wants decent performance for reasonable money. She is particularly worthwhile for "older" computer (see my system description above). To buy me have the other (very good) moves assessments of Amazon users and I bereure far nothing .-)
