I'd go for it

It's OEM, meaning it will come with no box or anything else. Basically, nothing besides the product itself, which sucks. You dont get any warranty on it either, i think. Well, unless you pay extra for it of course.

It's an alright card, but it's not great. I don't think it's out of line with other comparable cards.

I think the reason its so low priced is because its a SAPHIRE they suck worst 3rd party ever, i had a Saphire once and it blew chunks.

Sapphire makes good sh*t. You know nothing.

The thing that you are missing Billy is that this card is slow as hell. Look at benchmarks for cards. It has 128bit memory controller and GDDR2?? All good cards have 256bit and GDDR3. You should be able to get something much better for little more money......

unfortuantly agp and i would like to keep it like 150-170 range (but anything lower on a decent card would be great)

i am not really looking very hard now but in a couple of months maybe (my jew basterd roomate is gonna reclaim his video card that i am currently borrowing)

[ShLoNkY]

I checked a bunch of places and didn't see anything worth noting thats in that price range and AGP. Prices change daily and I have a lot of Internet time at work so I'll keep you posted.......

Monarch computers is pretty good.

The low price is still due to OEM.

I buy most of my sh*t OEM, cuz its cheaper usually. I could care less if I get a fancy box and useless sh*t that I would throw out anyways. You still get the same manufacturers warranty as you would with retail.... Ship me my high performance computer parts in a brown paper bag...... I don't care as long as they work.

ok about the saphire i should say that my experiance with saphire cards has not been the best, they may have some good cards i just havent seen one yet

Sapphire and a million companies all make the same sh*t. Same GPU, same memory, same board layout etc. They just market them differently. You ever notice that most ATI cards are NOT made by ATI?? They are made to ATIs specifications. If you had a problem with a Sapphire card, then don't buy another one. Buy a powercolor or MSI. Youll be getting the same thing. Maybe your computer sucks?? Not tryin to flame you too bad, but it just pisses me off when people generalize.

Just cause you got a bad card from Sapphire does not mean they make a sh*tty product. It means you got a bad card. (Most of the newer Sapphire cards use the faster samsung memory and I have had a few of them with no problems)
