I've had nothing but pleasant experiences with them an my last radeon always had performance issues despite it's superiority over my 2002 geforce ti4600. yeah, i could run HL2 with that card at a decent fps. the radeon crapped out after 4 months.
I'm going to take it apart today to check, I just thought there'd be an easier way to check such a simple spec, and was being lazy. I've already opened it up once, the motherboard has both PCI and PCI express slots.

What's also wierd is when I was hunting down info on that card, most places praise it for being able to run on almost any power supply...
