This is the exact product I was looking for. It certainly turned my old system into futuristic.
512MB of dedicated graphics is definitely a booster.
The card fitted right into AGP4x slot (1.5v key) on my ASUS-A7N266-VM-SE motherboard (onboard GeForce2 with 32MB).
This doesn't mean I bought it blindly, just cause it's AGP.
I searched & read lot of reviews for this card & this specific model, especially the AGP8x vs 4x compatibility issues.
It runs flawless on AGP4x slot.
Package contained:
1. the card, with 3 outputs (DVI, VGA, S-Video)
2. drivers+softwares+manual on disc (CD)
3. S-Video Cable
4. DVI to VGA adapter (there's already a VGA output, just in case if you have two VGA monitors)
Installation was easy.
If you have any cards in nearby PCI slots, make sure to remove(or atleast losen) them before inserting the card into AGP slot.
Only problem I faced the NVIDIA Control Panel didn't start, with some dll exception error. Might be because I forgot to uninstall previous version, or something else. Well, it's now fixed with updates from NVIDIA site.
Registered the product on EVGA website & now the warranty is 2 years.
And working all well.
About TechShop.in:
I have been searching for this card for a long time, I searched lot of local stores and sites for India, and only TechShop had it in stock.
All specs mentioned on site are correct.
Just above 3k is the best deal for 512MB AGP card. I saved a lot buying this card now rather when it was released !!
Ordering this product from TechShop was a good idea, before it was all sold out.
Payment was easy (I opted cheque).
Prompt updates on order status.
Good packaging.
Delivery was fast and right at door (from TNT).
Thanks TechShop and thanks EVGA.
