For normal applications, such as Windows, movies, pictures, etc, this card is quite enough. For easiest games this card is sufficient if you do not want to drive at full resolution. Something demanding graphics games run with this card bad to not at all, for example WoW in a resolution of 1600x900 on Win XP, delivers the card in normal mode Quest between 40-50 images per second, making it smooth in low mode. Anders behaves the map at the same settings in the normal 5 'instances that delivered images breaking abruptly with much movement of players together at 10 to 25 per second, making it no longer playable. A GF 8600GT with only 256MB mastered even this task smoothly. For this card but says the low power loss, only 300Watt power supply can be operated with this card without any problems. But whoever wants to graphics, be XP would not give up, because no one likes these with apps flooded and begrabbelten monitors, should venture into the field of GF GTX 275, which are also to get already for almost the same price and therefore even Diablo3, WoT and PS2 can go full graphics and with an old 939 3800 X2 core.
