Sometimes the reviews aren't very thorough or meaningful, but other times, if a product is really bad, like a lot of hardware failures, you can find out right away from those reviews. Or if the fan is noisy, there'd be lots of complaints. When you're spending a lot for a video card, the warranty makes a difference. Some companies have excellent warranty service, while others actually make it hard to get in touch with them (Diamond). So review the feedback people have to offer on what it takes to get warranty service, as part of your selection. Maybe one card is cheaper than another, because there is no effective warranty. Also, when buying some of the new video cards, check out the dimensions of the card. There are some cards that I would have trouble fitting into my computer case, so I cannot buy them. Make sure the thing is going to fit, unless you plan on buying a new case as well. http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/video..._boards_sm.jpg You can get power numbers from he http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...gts-640_6.html Paul |
