One thing people don't like about PNY is their warranty. They state
"lifetime" on the package, but inside they say lifetime is the life of the
product ON THE MARKET.

So if you buy one and they declare it off the market, two months after you
buy it, then your "lifetime" is only two months. LOL.

I've been trying to finally buy a geForce FX 5900 card, but most of the
widely available ones in my area are PNY and the eVGA 5900SE. I

5900
SE, why? Isn't the 5900 better than the 5900?


The SE or TX versions are a very good buy, not like the crap SE ATI
ones..

We can ALL thank Nvidia for this mess...

Besides the CONFUSION of 5200 / 5600 / 5700 / 5900 Ultra or not (= 8
card types) They have to add SE and XT as well?

XT = low end... lower than Non Ultras.

Se doesn't mean squat.

GF4 MX440 = good (for this junky card)
GF4 MX440se = overclocked MX420 - its even slower.

Ti4800 = Ti4600 with a new name

and 8X AGP

Ti4800SE = Ti4400 with a new name


Ditto.


Two simple words:-

CAVEAT EMPTOR ( Latin: let the buyer beware )

All vendors play this sort of game. SE versions of cars
are frequently stripped down versions of other models.

Applies to all purchases. The habit of blaming others
has become endemic. Hasn't your daddy taught you to
read the "small print"? If you don't know precisely what
you are purchasing or you are not willing to find out,
then have a qualified 3rd-party update your computer.

Now, if a product does not meet the published
terms in its manufacturer's spec, that is quite a different
issue. Or the wrong product is either deliberately
or inadvertently shipped to a customer.
