PNY GeForce 8400GS 512MB DDR2 PCI DVI+VGA Low Profile Graphics Card VCG84512SPPB

I installed this PCI card in a Dell Dimension 2400 running Windows 7 Professional. The reason I upgraded my video was to run Windows 7 Aero. It worked perfectly from the beginning and Aero is now up and running. I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website and put them on my desktop for easy access. I made sure the video setting in the BIOS was set to auto. I disabled my onboard video in Device Manager. Shut down the computer and installed the card. Turned on the computer and ran the video driver software that was on my desktop. The driver software ran, found the card and installed the drivers. Rebooted the computer and I was up and running. The manual for this card says it needs a 350 watt power supply but I installed it fine with the stock 200 watt power supply that was already in my computer. I have been using this card for over 2 weeks with no problems.

Works good. Was well packaged and shipping was fast. This was really just an add on to allow for a multiple monitor setup. Not used for anything graphics intensive

this thing is great it just pops in the pci slot 1 screw ur done it said to have a 350+watt power supply but it ran fin for the 1 day till i got my new 500watt power supply. it has 2 monitor outputs(i have 3 now with the old built in vga plug) i have a hp 20"hp2009m lcd 1080 pixel monitor and the picture is 100X better than it was only bad things were it was really glitchy at first and it wants to chop my desktop pic off at the bottom (still has all the icons tho) it is a tight fit in my hp a820n tower but fit fine and the worst is that i have a none clear tower this thing looks sweet!!! 4 out of 5 stars its great for $50.00 over all you just cant go wrong with PNY hardware

What a waste! The $50.00 I spent for this video card. I bought to upgrade a sr1151nx graphic card pc. After I installed it, it worked for a couple of minutes and the computer froze up. I had to unplug the power cord from the back since I wasn't able to do a hard shut down. When I tried to turn the pc back on, there was no POST, no video. I have tried it on even some new computers I built it doesn't work. Not only I wasted my $50.00 but I lost also my old SR1151NX PC which I liked.

I bought this card after my Geforce 6800 died. With mounting frustration I tried for three weeks to get this card to work with my Intel motherboard but could never get a throughput signal to my monitor. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, upgrading the drivers on both the video card and the motherboard, freeing up resources, resolving memory and IRQ conflicts, upgrading my power supply, cleaning all the motherboard conflicts, and everything else I could think of doing. Finally I removed it from my desktop and plugged it into a friend's computer where it works just fine. So I suppose I can say it is a great card it just doesn't work with every computer motherboard.

Hopefully, the three stars got your attention. Actually, I ordered this card based on other review ratings; so, it's likely a very good card. However, it would not work in my older Dell Dimension 8200, which I purchased from Dell in January, 2002, running windows XP Professional. This Dell has an AGP slot on the motherboard and came with an NVIDIA Video card. Incidentally, PNY has outstanding tech support; one of their tech support folks spent about an hour on the phone with me trying to get this card to work. We tried just about everything; however, the bottom line is my dell never would boot into safe mode. So, I returned the card and received a complete refund from the Amazon vendor, ANTOnline. So, if you have a Dell with an AGP slot, I believe this card isn't for you. I did order the EVGA GeForce 6200 Graphics Card Video Card 512-A8-N405-KR from Amazon, and it installed and works perfectly.

I needed an inexpensive card to run two monitors in a older Dell computer and this card fit the specifications. And it works just fine.

Where I work most users have three monitors. The computers use the on-board video, and a PCI video card. I have two computers (soon to be three) that use this card, and they work like a champ for what we use it for. Works well in Windows XP, and in Windows 7 64-bit. We don't run any games so I can't comment on that, but if you need to run dual or more monitors for office related programs, this card is the one for you.
