Anyone have this card???

I just read Toms MX reviews and he said the card had the best TV out of all the cards he reviewed.

Performance of the all the MX cards was almost identical.

So is there any reason not to get this card???
I found it for under $200 canadian so thats pretty good as well.

Thanks


 
I dont see anything wrong with it, no particular reason not to get it either. If you like its features, why not? MSI is not a company who generally makes crap.
 
My friend just got it. I actually helped him choose it over an Elsa Gladiac MX and a Cardex GeForce2MX card because it was the cheapest of the bunch. It has 6ns Hyundai memory, which is pretty standard, and a standard black heatsink. Its default clocked at 175MHz/166MHz core/memory, and we tried higher but had some problems(I forgot what speed we tried it at though) so its currently still running at default speed. Haven't tried the S-video out capabilities, so can't comment on that, but it seems to be quite a well built card.

btw, the heatsink does get pretty warm, in fact, significantly hotter than the Chrome Orb on the Duron 700@800MHz on my friend's system. So, if you intend to overclock, you might want to invest in a fan.
