Why not... I bought an OEM 3000+ from newegg and it works great.

with Newegg I would take a chance and save $$$, their service is second to none IMHO.
They will replace the chip if it is bad.

I bought a refurbished Raptor that supposedly didn't have a warranty, but upon checking the S/N on WD's website, it had the full 5 years... so back in July, I got a Raptor for $105 shipped Then only a couple months ago, I bought a refurbished Audigy 2 ZS... but it arrived in a sealed retail box with all the free software and games. Newegg is my friend

Wait until the reviews of the new Nforce 3 250 boards come out before you buy. Hopefully they will have PCI/AGP lock.
