I purcahsed this card to give my little system a speed bump.Unforutnately the Windows 7 Windows Experiences score was only 3.7 with this card.I understand that number shouldn't mean everything but I got a card for the same price (w/ [...]) but with a 6.5 score:
EVGA nVidia GeForce GT 220 1 GB DDR3 DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card 01G-P3-1226-LR

My on-board video got a better score than the HIS Radeon HD 4350!!!!I returned the HIS Radeon HD 4350.

Both cards are rated to work with a 300 Watt power supply, btw.

LaCie 130804 eSATA PCI Express Card - Windows / Macintosh Review

LaCie 130804 eSATA PCI Express Card - Windows / Macintosh

I needed this card because my Buffalo drives FW800 chips don't play with my brand new Mac Pro FW800 chips. Fortunately the drives have eSATA and the LaCie PCI express card seemed the best choice (price, reputation) to install in the MP. Initially the card worked, but whenever the computer went to sleep the drive icons became non-functional and the drives sort of disappeared. I quickly initiated a problem ticket with LaCie and they produced a second firmware update. Ever since the card and drives work as expected. Data rate is supposed to be even faster than FW800 and although I haven't checked, the rate is at least fast enough for real time processing of HD video using iMovie.
PROS: unit installed easily, LaCie responded quickly, and the fix solved all issues.
CONS: the eSATA cable connector was a real struggle to mate with the LaCie card. Took lots of wiggling and inspecting. Thought I was going to break something. The same connector fit easily onto the Buffalo drive side, so I think the card side is at fault.
