It really depends what you are expecting from it. what sorts of things do you hope to play? It's not really a great performing card but then for that sort of money you aren't going to get something great.

I just want to play games like Half Life 2, and im looking to hook up a flat panel to my pc to clear desk space. I think its a good card for that price, for it to also run vista aero is a bonus too, i dont expect to use vista in the future apart from when i test it.

It will be able to run Half Life 2 but you're probably not going to be able to put the settings up too high, although the rest of your PC will determine that as well. I'd say you'll start to notice you need something better pretty quickly if you try to play many newer games.

I've never understood why people want flatscreen moniters.

You can get 2 Trinitron based CRT moniters for £50 on ebay.
Better picture quality, more money in the wallet.

Win-win situation.

Not when it comes to new LCD and Plasma TVs, most have PC inputs on them.
