Fantastic, but large
Strengths: Incredibly fast silent excellent support
Weakness: takes up a lot of room needs external power
I really love this card (using it on XP). The only down side is that it takes a lot of room -- basically you lose the slot to the left of it and to the right of it. Since the x17 PCIe slot is usually the closest one to the CPU, this may also limit your choice of heatsinks -- on my Asus m2n-e card, I couldn't use a thermaltake V1 cooler because this video card's heatsink didn't leave it room!
