not for advanced features of MS VistaMay 14, 2007 I bought this video card since i didnt have one. I was using windows ME and found a download for the driver that is ME compatible even though not included on the CD. However you wont get all the features as with Win XP. I later upgraded to win XP and was able to open the drivers from the CD that came with the video card and was able to see all the features (although i dont know how to maximize most of them). Someone else said they were able to get the card to work with vista so I upgraded to vista. there is a driver included on the cd for vista but you have to search for it as it doesnt load automatically and you even get an error when inserting the installation disk. when i was using win Xp, I downloaded a program to check compatibilty with Vista. the program found that card doesnt have some of the minimum features to get the the most advanced features of vista. Therefore if you want the most advanced features of vista, you shouldnt get this card as it will eventually be obsolete. However the basic features of Vista do work.
Good product....May 12, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently bought this product to ensure that my vista upgrade will provide the ability to use Aero. I am not a gamer and hence this review will probably not cover any of those aspects.... Vista Aero definitely worked pretty nicely. However, for reasons unrelated to this card (I certainly know that the card was not the problem since I had a printer that I really needed to use and could not get it to work with Vista), I had to downgrade back to XP. Luckily I had the old hard drive with XP that I just reconnected. XP before I upgraded was using the ATI 9250 card, and so now when I loaded it again it had to install the 9550 drivers. Right after I did this, windows media player was just not able to play any video file without any choppiness. I played around with some of the hardware acceleration settings, and was able to play wmv, and MPGs, but no matter what I did, AVI playback was horrendous. So I had to take it out and go back to my old 9250 and everything was working fine. I did try the latest drivers from ATI, but nothing helped. This may be a problem related to my configuraton, but I just wanted to mention it. This is an excellent card for the price, and I think it is a good deal for anybody that is looking for a cheap alternative to reach the specs that vista needs.
Works with Vista, but the fan screechesApril 16, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Contrary to other reviews I found that this card works fine with Windows Vista, but also contrary to other reviews I hate the fact that it has a fan rather than a heat sink. My once virtually silent desktop now has an extraordinarily annoying high-pitched screech. If I can't come up with a way to silence this thing I will have to remove it.
Great video card for the budget minded!April 3, 2007 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this card for my husband for Christmas. Now, he LOVES the performance and it made his Tiger Woods 2007 golf game look GREAT! So much so, that I am rather envious as it doesn't look anywhere near as nice on my computer which has an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200!
The one reason I give it 4 stars is that from the reviews and from the PICTURE posted here on Amazon, I thought it would have a cooling fan. It does not, or at least the one we received from Tiger Direct does not. It has a heat sink instead. So if you must have a cooling fan, realize that sometimes this product ships with a heat sink.
That said, there has been no problem with the card through lack of a cooling fan, the heat sink seems to work just fine and my husband often spends hours on his computer.
My husband has a home built system, running Windows XP Home SP1.
Update 9/16/2008:
Well, the lack of a cooling fan has not been a problem. The card has been running without a single hitch or glitch. I'm sorry I didn't give it 5 stars instead of 4.
Diamond Stealth not good for Windows VISTAApril 2, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Windows VISTA and this card do NOT work well together. Especially if you are performing an upgrade from WinXP to Windows Vista. I repeatedly found system lockup errors and got absolutely no help from ATI Radeon. In fact they wanted to blame my system, not their drivers. If you are going to be using Windows VISTA, DO NOT buy this card.
