I can get this card for $150. I don't know how much this card costs retail.

Is $150 a good deal on this?

thanks,

Not a bad price. I got one of these puppies, and the core is going strong @ 240MHz, it's a nice OCer. Pretty blue too...

Is this price w/ or w/o shipping? Or from a B&amp;M store?
Newegg.com has the MSI GF2 Pro for $142 + $7 for shipping, so if that is with shipping, then it seems like a good deal.

Newegg.com has the 64MB MSi GF2-Pro for $152 shipped.
So if your $150 includes shipping then yeah it's good deal.
I'd take the Herc over the MSi just for the purdy blue PCB 😀

$150 is alright, not the best price out there. You can get the MSI GF2 Pro with 64MB for about the same price, the Pro is quite a bit faster than the GTS, so I think its a better option.

If you can get it for that price then you should defintely go for it. I've found that Hercules cards are usually slightly more expensive than others so $150 is a great deal. I'm not sure if the MSI has RAM sinks, but the Hercules does so that might sway you a bit if you're going to overclock. I had this card and it was awesome. Even though I have a faster card now, I still miss opening my case and seeing a bright blue card in there. Too bad Elsa only makes their cards in the plain Jane green PCB color.

I think that sounds like a pretty good deal. It looks like Hercules is fazing that card out to make room for the new one with the Kyro II chipset which is cheaper but performs similarly. Get the GTS Pro while you can!
