    I just got my Diamond X1300 PCI for my dell system. 256MB memory with a 64-bit memory bus.

    It auto detects Half-Life 2 to all high with reflect world on the water. 1024 x 768 and bloom. MUCH better than my 6200PCI. Runs about 30-45 FPS topping at about 85. Awesome!

    And I got it to run FarCry with all high settings(not max) with shadows and lighting quality set at low at 1024 x 768. Runs GREAT! 25-40 steady and VERY playable. I don't care what you guys say, 25FPS is playable.

    Gave alot of new life to that machine... gonna cry :) Good because my mom started to play FarCry last week and it struggled on the 6200 majorly. She really liked cranking up the settings.

    She's a good gamer too. Can kick anyone's butt in Halo 2 blindfolded.

    I indeed already have an X1800XT. Look at my sig.

    This card was put in a PCI only rig. I own three computers and my dell happens to limited in such a way. I was just saying my results for those who are unfortunate enough to have only PCI slots.

    I do not think it is rubbish at all. It performs roughly the same as a GeForce 6600 and gives very good frames in all the games my mom plays as she uses the dell. It was my only option and, in my opinion, a very worthwhile purchase.

    Adeux!
