That card also does a good job at accelerating flash video and high def.

MSI screwed me out of the last rebate. Something about having to get a "special" separate invoice from the vendor that wasn't included with the shipment. And they wouldn't back off despite the vendor calling them. That's maybe the only rebate I ever had a major problem with.

The vendor (Zip-Zoom Fly ) did give me a $20 credit toward another purchase to make up for it.

Newegg comments indicates it comes with the low profile bracket for the DVI/HDMI connections. No low profile bracket for the VGA connector but who uses VGA in this day and age?

Apparently some mod did it for me.... awesome.

I've used this in several machines. Very competent, while obviously not a powerhouse! A nice item for a low-end HTPC, being fan-less. Runs hot, but thrives that way.

'Even tossed it into my first multi-GPU Folding rig while testing it.

(As for the lack of a low-profile VGA bracket: it's inelegant, but you can just dangle the unbracketed VGA connector out the back w/o a problem -- use anti chafing tape if it's squeezed by a cover-plate. But, yeah, it's cheap of them.)


The combo deal looks better if you don't read the memory stick's owner ratings at NE! The combo price is certainly right, but a lot of owners seemed disappointed with the stick's bandwidth and other issues.

The $20 rebate expires on the 16th, IIRC.

Wonder if NE support will add it for me?
