    5 of 5 Less than three minutes to install Monday, July 21, 2008
    A Customer from Gahanna, oh  

    Installed on a Vista business machine and all fired up no problem. Great value for business needs. Connected dual display and was on my way. Great for those who just need a good card. Sure gamers need to go a step up. This one handles our engineering business graphic programs with no problem.
