It works great! 128mb of pure joy. Now I can play HF2 and not have the stupid pixelating walls.

I got it for 20$ NIB brand new too...what a steal.

Damn fine card (I've got one) and you did the deal of the century on the price.

A Radeon 128 for $20?

Yeah, it wasn't a steal, it was probably stolen.

A little on the slow side for newer games, but it'll work. How in the heck did you get it for $20?!

My dad works at an eyeglass company as a computer tech and they throw away TONS of stuff that's "old" and unusable. Like 1ghz laptops. My dad bought one for 10$ and it was missing the HD, ram, battery, CD and floppy drive. 30 minutes at work and 20$ got it all fixed up and running.

where the heck do you buy all that stuff for $20?????

A cheap laptop battery is wayyyy more than $20 (unless you're buyng one that is being sold on ebay becasue it won't hold a charge)

He bought it as parts only from a guy, then took it to work one day and salvaged the parts from the trash bin. Works great.
