Let's zoom, um, zoom.

Well online courses courtesy I needed to be able to use zoom on one of my computers. My 10 year old desktop just couldn't do it and my little Lenovo barely could. So, time for an update! To be honest, buying this board was more of an afterthought as I figured increasing my desktop RAM to 4GB and installing a quad core processor would be enough. But having had good results with Diamond products in the past and the modest price of the board, I decided to buy it and give it a try. On the plus side, the card worked on the first try and does a great job of speeding up Zoom sessions. Cons: The drivers from AMD's site installed with some drama, but there is a settings shortcut that goes nowhere (Win 7). However, the Catalyst application allows the user to customize the board, so I'm inclined to think the label is just a holdover that wasn't removed before it became obsolete. In any case, it fully meets my requirements. highlighted.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I'll add later
