This is one piece of hardware I didn't read much on the net... I'd
like to buy one of those, but I don't know how the DDR/64 bit memory
stacks up with the SDR/128 bit... Perhaps you can help me & 100's
others out but doing a nice review on this... It's a hot one!

The problem is that the card is running on a 64 bit bus at 286 MHz DDR. That is the equivalent of running on a 128 bit bus at 143 MHz SDR. Most MXs run at 166 MHz SDR. Thus this card should be slower than most other MX's unless you get lucky and can o/c the memory above 333 MHz DDR. However, the memory is rated 7ns or 143 MHz.

So is it a good deal, especially if you have to wait for it from Buy.com? It is your call. I bought it, but after reading the reviews I am having second thoughts & so may cancel the order.
