I bought the 256MB version of this card. It's great so far (haven't tried any games yet).

The desktop 2d performance is reasonable on my 1920x1200 screen 24" monitor.

I like the nVidia multi desktop software. It's much better and less buggy than the ATI counter part. The irony was, when I switched from my pretty good ATI all in wonder to nVidida, I was wondering the quality of the software. Now I know that the nVidia utility are actually superior to the ATI multiDesk utility, even for everyday produtivity use and none game usage.
