3 of 5 HDTV Card doesn't work with Biostar mboard Thursday, November 29, 2007
David from Bloomington, MN  

My ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI card locks up my PC on startup. Card must be removed to use the PC. I have a Biostar M7VIG motherboard, ATI Radeon 9550 AGP graphics card, AMD Sempron 2200+ processor with 1Gig memory. Card works in Dell PC with Intel processor but still does not operate smoothly.

5 of 5 Best investment in my system Tuesday, November 27, 2007
James from Rice, Tx  
This card breathed new life into my 6-year-old P4 system, it was the missing link to the best performance. I have a system with RAMBUS memory, and have been pleased with the speed of the system, but, WOW!!, what a difference this video card made!!! I play games & videos and I now don't miss any frames of video for any reason.

5 of 5 Worth the money Thursday, September 06, 2007
nickeldown from MA  
I picked mine up on ebay from someone who didn't read the package for a bargin 30 dollars. I have played all the STAR WAR games which put alot of load on the card and require the openGL and some pixel shader and it handles without a lag. It does bog down alittle for extreme graphics. I played a racecar game it was slow( i think it was the game itself). It renders nicely and plays movies with a crispness. THere is not much it can not do I have benchmarked it and there were very few features it could not handle. Again under extreme graphics loads it does slow down but only for a bit, it will catch up. ALso the ATI website is very helpful. The card is overclockable to an extent but I have not ventured down that road because I very rarely play games any more. I would recommend it to moderate to intermediate level gamers for graphics and a first step to bigger and better.
