The card I purchased must have been used for heavy crypto mining. The VRAM thermal pads had oozed out an oily substance on the PCB and and discolored the case. I replaced the pads and also the GPU thermal paste. The PCB and case cleaned up well with isopropyl alcohol and fine plastic polish. I ran FurMark stress and benchmark tests and the results were stunning. I'm happy. This graphics card stomps all over GTX 1650 OC, GTX 1050 Ti, and Radeon RX 6400. For a few bucks more you get 6GB DDR6 and superior performance. Check out the reviews of RTX A2000 on YouTube. The performance results show this card as the clear winner for low power, low profile GPUs. I believe it's true.

Nice little nettop PC. Price competitive and low power.
I'm not an IT expert. I needed a small low power PC for use in a 12V battery powered media kiosk. My most important considerations were power consumption, weight, and size. This little guy seems to satisfy my requirements. With a Linux distro, it's more than fast enough to play full screen video, web-surf, and run standard applications.
My unit didn't come with SSD or WiFi. I was able to get both from eBay cheap (used). The Giada F200 accepted both without issues. The unit has one full size mSata II for SSD, and a mini PCIe for WiFi or other card.
I installed Linux Mint 17.2 and the unit had no problems whatsoever. I can't testify as to the performance with other OSes. If you need a mini PC with more horsepower than a Raspberry Pi, this is a good choice.

One of the last usable AGP graphics cards out there. Eats up Windows 7.
It's 2014, and I'm still buying these graphics cards. I refurbish older PCs for fun and profit. I won't hesitate to buy a PNY 7600 GS whenever one pops up at a fair price. I own about half a dozen of them.
The 7600 GS is one of the last consumer level AGP cards that was massed produced. Although, I've seen some 7600 GT cards from Asia offered on eBay that claim to be "brand new". I can't testify as to their quality. And, they usually want $60 bucks for them.
The PNY 7600 GS AGP is a trusted board which supports Windows 7 Aero, DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0. It's not a power gamer card. Don't expect miracles. I've found it will run most FPS type games at a playable speed depending on your system and graphics settings.
Be careful if you buy one with the old revision PCB. They have a problem where the electrolytic capacitors over heat and then rupture over time. (you can replace them yourself if you know how to solder.) These boards can be identified by having two capacitors next to the GPU fan power plug.
At some point, PNY fixed the capacitor issue by redesigning the power supply circuit. These new revision boards have a row of four capacitors and two inductors to the right of the GPU fan near the power connector.
