How's Saphire Atlantis Radeon 9000 128mb?

[bluesky]

Hmmm, the price is good for me around 90.
How good it's 2D quality and dvd paly back?

I'm gonna build a system, which won't paly games. It will be used with an LCD and I want a card w/o a fan.
I'm trying to build a system as quiet as possible, and want to buy a mobo w/o chipset fan and a video card w/o fan.
I'd rather buy a card made by ATI, but couldn't find Radeon 9000 from ATI, so that I'll get Saphire card if it's good, or get 9000 pro made by ATI,
and get passive cooler for the card. Obviously I'd like to get card w/o fan to save money, time and my labor.
By the way, I'd like to keep the price under 150.00.

Thanks.

Well, i had one before i switched it to the Pro 64mb, and it was a pretty decent card for the price. It's fanless and 2d quality is great. DVD is also good although systems today are fast enought that video card doesn't matter that much anymore. It has TV out, DVI and D-Sub 15, and runs game decently (you can run most games today at decent frames rates albeit without everything turned up). Anyways, if you can get it for a price you like and dun need top of the line, then heck! Go for it!
