We like:

We don't like:

Impending DirectX 10 cards will make this card obsolete in short order; ATI is still the current leader with 3D image quality

It brings two graphics processors to a single slot, costs half as much as similarly fast setups, and lays the groundwork for do-it-yourself Quad SLI.
