Question

CompUsa has this I/O Magic video board on sale for $49.99 after rebate. Is this I/O Magic brand any good?

Should I pick one up this morning or wait for a better deal?

Thanks all.

My personal opinion the brand usually doesn't make any significant difference..
THe difference is between TNT2 and TNT2M64 chip

Well I did pick one up and it is the TNT2 M64. I suppose it will do ok, can't complain about the price.

The TNT2M64 chip is only 64Bit. A regular TNT can keep up with it eventhough its a TNT2. I had one yesterday and I traded it to someone on the net. It was a Visiontek card and the TNT2M64 chip did not even have a heatsink.
