eVGA e-GeForce FX 5500 Graphic Card

An Entry-Level Card for an Entry-Level price!

I just upgraded the video card for one of my oldest clients about two weeks ago with this decent eVGA GeForce FX-5500 (256MB) video card.

This card is basically an overclocked version FX-5200 that is a bit faster. This card is simple, cheap, and you will be able to play some of the good games that are available today at low settings; it also has a lot of standard nVidia features like dual monitor support, and great media playback. My client paid about $60.00 for this card with shipping and handling included. This card is definitely not made for gaming, but instead mostly for normal day to day desktop usage.

WHY WOULD YOU BUY THIS CARD?
If you are like my client (who does not play games that much), then you probably need a video card like this one for your computer. This car will give you great performance and quality for a great low price; it also has a lot of features that you would get in a high-end card from nVidia. If you upgrade from the older FX-5200 card, you would notice boosts in quality, performance, and overall speed. Best of all, it is made by nVidia so you can only expect great quality and performance, and also the flexibility to overclock it a little bit.
