Retired

This is my old video card. I got it from a friend 4 years ago after he bought new one. He was using it about 3 years which means it is 7 years old. It is the first generation of Nvidia graphics cards made by Asus.
It was working just fine until the motherboard that was holding it got damaged. I had to change it because the new motherboard I bought, works only with new cards using PCI-Express slot. I replaced it with a young ATI X1300 card made by Gigabyte. Honstly, I don’t see so many differences between them. Maybe because I’m not a computer games nerd who required to have such cards. However, the change has to be done even if the main board was not broken. Because the new Windows (Vista) requires very high components to be able to run the OS as it should be.
Here is a picture of the old card followed by a picture of the young active card and the last picture is for the damaged board.

Have fun.
