I got my girlfriend a cheap computer through sunlit, it had that video card
on the m/b, it is really not a good card. It will only do d3d, and no
openGL. It really also depends on the game you play.  Halflife will support
d3d, but the quality is quite poor.  Besides this, i really dont think that
card will perform well in gaming.  My suggestion is to save up for at lease
a banshee, but the tnt's are almost the same price now anyway.
