I bought this because I wanted to add a second LCD monitor, and my five year old Dell computer's onboard video only has one output. The original monitor looks and works great with the onboard video card, as does the new widescreen monitor, but both the original LCD monitor and an old Sony CRT monitor look blurry when connected to this card, even with the correct drivers for card and monitor, and running the monitor at its native (1280x1024) resolution.
It's a cheap outdated card that I thought would perform well enough for web browsing, but I'd have a hard time recommending it even for that. I don't know, and don't have the motivation to find out, if it doesn't like to coexist with another card, or with the latest Windows XP hotfix, or the moon phase when I installed it.
I didn't spend enough money on the card for it to be worthwhile troubleshooting, so as soon as I find something that actually will work, this card is destined to join my collection of dead hard drives, motherboards, and other obsolete components in the cactus garden.Get more detail about ATI Rage XL 8MB PCI Video Card.
