Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS
$40.00
Released April, 2007
The Pros:Capable of running most games at mid-range settings. Handles application window rendering easily, everything pops up without hezitation. Included documentation is well written and complete.
The Cons:Not powerful enough to run games at high graphics settings. Ships with a driver on CD that will cause serious problems if used - need to download the driver. Fan makes a fair amount of noise.
The 8400 GS is the entry-level model in Nvidia's 8 Series of consumer desktop graphics cards. Less aimed at gaming applications than higher-end 8 Series models, the 8400 GS is a less expensive option that fully supports Windows Vista's graphical enhancements while retaining support for DirectX 10.

With only 256 MB of memory, 16 processor cores, and relatively low clock speeds, however, the 8400 GS may struggle with demanding graphics applications. The 8500 GT is a step up from the 8400 GS, offering essentially the same technology and specs but a 128-bit, rather than 64-bit, memory interface.
