Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had opinions of these two cards - Gainward Cardexpert GeForce 2 MX TwinView and Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 MX DH Pro. The Gainward incorporates the 5.5ns sdram onto their card but does it make a big difference?? I've been debating on which of the cards to get. Both are around $130 right now, but when the NV20 comes out, prices will prob. drop even more.
Also, I've been hearing alot about how all the MX's are having problems with TwinView - specifically with playing games or DVDs. Does anyone know if NVIDIA is working on fixing the drivers for this??

I've had both and would go with the Gainward if you want to Overclock, or go with the Leadtek (my preference) if you want to go for software, features, S-VHS output, etc. I did a longer post, if you do a search on me. You may want to look at the new AOpen 256 MX Platinum (comming soon) or the eVGA MX Pro (the final one I settled with). I would also recommend looking into some reviews, when available, at the new ATI Radeon VE Dual Display card out next month.

I have the Gainward CARDEXpert and I'm very happy with it. I haven't tried using TwinView so I can't really comment on how well it works.
