Good brand for Video Cards?

[Zeppy]

I'm in the market for a new card and plan on going with am MX chip. The question though is what brand make should I go with. I had planned on going with Hercules since it's a pretty well known group, but the prices from LeadTek and a few others are much cheaper. What do you guys think? Price or Brand?

The hercules MX does not come with a fan so unless you are prepared to add one then overclocking may be a problem.

I have added an old PII heatsink fan and it works great at 200/200 and may go faster.

I'm buying a Hercules. I suggest you get one too. Its the best GF2MX chipset out there. Only thing it lacks is a fan, but you can just buy one/find one lying around.

I thought the general consensus was the the Hercules MX card was the worst of the bunch because they use 64-bit DDRam instead of the 128-bit SDRAM everyone else uses?

Wag, thats the Creative Labs version.
