Pros: None noted, given available product data.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: Suited for all productivity tasks, as well as for the casual 3D gamer.This card supports DirectX 9 technology, which is still the standard for those who want to play games with advanced 3D-rendering techniques, but it does not support Vista's DirectX 10 standard.
Value: In general, this graphics card's features are as expected for this price.
Suggestions: (1) This card has DVI-out to connect to similarly enabled flat panel or plasma monitors and produce a clearer picture than does analog-to-digital conversion.(2) For Editor's Reviews of the latest graphics cards, visit the graphics and sound section of CNET's website.

CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Graphics Cards. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of graphics card.
Media Center Graphics Card
One of the popular attempted 'convergence devices' of recent years is the media center PC. This can range from a computer with a normal monitor that can receive TV signals, to a central media server that can send movies to the main TV itself. A media center graphics card needs to be capable of outputting signals in a form with which TVs are likely to be compatible.
