Installation
In order to install the card, you just need to place the card in the appropriate AGP slot on your motherboard. Then you connect an external power connector from the power supply into the card. Lastly, you plug into the DVI or VGA cable into the card depending on your monitor type.
Next, I needed to use the installation CD in order to install the display drivers as well as the Catalyst Control Software. Since I will be trying out the overclocking capabilities of the card, I chose to install the provided Overclocking Utility from Sapphire.
Test Setup
-Intel 3.2Ghz Prescott 478 Pin Processor
-Intel D865GLC motherboard
-Hitachi 400GB SATA hard drive
-1.5GB of PC2700 RAM
-Windows XP Professional
-Direct X 9.0c
Benchmarks
I tested the graphics card on a variety of popular games and benchmarks:
3DMark03
Doom3
Half-Life 2
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
I used Fraps to benchmark the games using the same level for each of the resolutions. The resulting score is the average framerate being reported throughout the levels.
