this card... perfect for my shuttle SK83g and my lcd. AGP, 256mb, dual-DVI, only takes 1 slot.. awesome. Only part that bothered me was the price.

I also cut a 60mm hole in my shuttle today above the video card heatsink... stick a 60mm fan and grill on the outside of the case for better cooling.

The card I have now is a 9800 pro 128mb, which works fine for about everything but BF2 - it runs kinda sketchy at 1280x1024, medium settings (LCD resolution). Also, I just sold the 9800 pro for $120, so that will help offset the cost of this guy a little :eek:

oh, and for some reason newegg has slimline 60mm fans, but not 60mm fan grills. Had to order one off of xoxide, which led me to buy some EL wire, and a USB fan >_<

My Radeon pro 9800 is still running fantastic. And yes, I do play BF2 with it. However I am not one of those people who need 8x AA and stuff like that :)

I'm with you. People who post "I only have a 9800 pro" make me laugh. 9800 pro can still play all games very well.

Don't hate man! Good thing my BFG 6800 GT OC still had a high resell value because of the lifetime warranty.
