"Don't expect this card to do miracles, your system has to come up to scratch if you are planning on purchasing one of these babies. Firstly you _will_ need a fast processor to keep this puppy busy, I would recommend that you have at least a 500MHz if you want to have this card running anywhere near is maximum. You will also want to have a large monitor, running at around 1280x1204, to enjoy this card as otherwise you are just wasting your money. If your looking to upgrade from a GeForce Pro card, then you might want to look elsewhere, but if your upgrading from anything lower than that, I would take a serious look at this card."
