I got this last month from newegg for 145.
Works great, no problems with agp 4x.(using asus a7v133)
runs currently at 231 466 no problem. I think I could push the memory higher but haven't tried. Using the stock heatsink, the core definitely tops out at 235 or so. Im ordering some cooler kits from 2cooltek so Im hopin to push it more. Looks very well built.

If you're on the fence about this one, I noticed a dramtic improvement in every game. upgraded from a vanilla creative gts2 w/32m running at 220 350.

Best 145 i ever spent. Came in less than 3 days as well.

No...there is no MSI 64MB GF2Pro at NewEgg...don't even bother looking!

Oh, wait, nevermind, I got my order in this time before they went out of stock. OK, it's safe for you to go to the site. :D Can't wait until this comes home!

Edit: I'm also upgrading from a stock GF2 GTS kki000...I figured with my new mobo with DDR memory and a 1.2 GHz T-bird, may as well round it out and boost performance a bit all over the place. Hope my results are as pleasant.

I has the 5ns version and also ordered from newegg. score almost 7800 on 3d mark 2000, with my amd 1.3Ghz (200) and core/memory is like 215/430, and not sure did i push the cpu to like 1.4 Ghz, (like 13x108) , but it is very solid build and it is very nice upgrade since I am upgrading it from voodoo3 3000 agp. :)

AccessMicro has them in stock for $140 + $12 for UPS 2nd Day. I found a $10 coupon bringing it to $142 shipped for me :D

Don't advertise it :(
I'm going to go buy it now, so I don't have to wait another week for it to come back in stock.

That's exactly why I posted what I did MrCodeDude; at least I was lucky enough to get in on it this time.

garo: This is indeed 5.5ns, though airmax probably ordered the 5ns refurbished one from MSI when NewEgg still had it. That was a good buy. Either that or he just got lucky. ;)

jaggrey: I'm assuming this has 5ns memory? (from accessmicro) Because it states "64MB DDR 256BIT 400MHZ RAM"...
