It's quite a cheap office card, two dual-link DVI outputs, passive cooling without additional noise. Dual Monitor works fine both with OSS and Nvidia driver. Nvidia driver provides better hardware rendering / accel for 3D games, CAD, etc. Card may not be suitable for gaming. Another card I used is Radeon HD 5450, 2 DVI, passive cooling as well. Works fine with OSS driver, but no HW accel available in F14, seems to be supported in F15 and beyond (driver version 6.14.x). Closed source AMD driver is awful, distorted display in firefox and some other programs. Previously used a Sapphire Radeon HD 3470, dual DVI, passive cooling. DVI unusable in fedora with OSS driver (long lasting bug since F12 or so), plain VGA works rather OK.
