It is good enough for many games at low - medium resolutions and game settings BUT the better one is the HD2600XT.

My personal experience with ATI based cards is not good. I have had to get a single card RMA'ed 3 times before I got a decent one. Then on top of that ATI does not have that good of driver support. I believe a lot of issues people have from their ATI based cards are driver related, I know mine are. I need to reinstall drivers every 2 weeks like clock work before I can play certain games otherwise the games have lines and blocks all over the screen. I know ATI releases new driver releases about once a month but the drivers are still not very good.
My personal recommendation would be a card from Nvidia of the same type of performance and cost. When I had an Nvidia card I had no headaches, I only upgraded to an ATI cause my old Nvidia card was just hanging in there playing certain games but I wished now i stuck with Nvidia instead of buying ATI. I bought an actual ATI brand also, not another company using ATI chipset such as Sapphire.
Also consider, ATI is slowly drifting out of the picture as far as technology is going. By the time they actually end up releasing some other video card that competes with Nvidia, Nvidia will have another card out, Due out in maybe another 2-3 months.

Good for gaming, but not better than Nvidia, you want a real expirence then go with Nvidia. I went with Nvidia and never went back!!!

of course its a good card for gaming...but i disagree that its better then nvidia *shrug* problems with them...had nvidia for a long time and no worries with them, but thats just an opinion. wouldnt use vista just because vista sucks though.
