I've decided - MSI FX5900U
I reviewed all the available ultra cards on the market right now, while some
other models do have the default memory clock at 900MHz i felt the MSI card had what i wanted. 450/850...copper core, two fans, 256MB memory and an excellent software package. So i am gonna go with this one...i'll just o/c the memory to 900MHz and everything will be dandy. I expect not to even attempt an graphics card upgrade for at least 2 years, it's gonna set me back 600 Euro. Comments? (besdides the fact i'm mad) __________________________________________________ ________________ Richard Dower ICQ#: 114343804 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me __________________________________________________ ________________ |

My GF4 Ti4200 64MB has lasted for one year now and I'm actually planning to let it last for two years more when I'll upgrade everything to the almost-latest stuff at that point in time (probably some kind of Athlon 64 and whatever videocard.. who knows, maybe nVidia is owned by ATI then.. hehe). /M |

A 4200 would be what, 4years old at that point? rms |

Except the MSI Geforce FX 5900 Ultra board only has 1 fan, it looks like
every other GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with the black heatsink/fan combo. The MSI GeForce FX 5900 (non-ultra) has the fan on front with a big copper heatsink and a fan on the back side of the card. The Ultra loos like it does because nVidia basically told all of the manufacturers they would be using the "reference" card for now to ensure quality control on this release of the 5900 Ultra card. The only difference between the MSI GeForce FX 5900 Ultra and say the eVGA version is the box it comes in (which the MSI box wins the "Biggest packaging category" and the sticker in the middle of the fan on the heatsink which denotes it's from MSI.
