Visontek Geforce 2/GTS 32MB PM w/ Staples for $144

[H1ghlander]

Found the visiontek Geforce 2/GTS DDR 32MB at staples here@ $263, availability 3-5 days.

Vision Tek's Web Page describes this as a Geforce 2 GTS board.

Checking Pricewatch, I found a couple of vendors which have the card.
www.memorymedia.com has it for $150.12, but their
shipping is pretty high. Mine turned out to be about $16
for ground (yeah, this is one of those companies that
make money from shipping). So, that turns out to be
about $167 before tax, subtract 30 off 150 for a total
of $144.

Sunway graphics has the card here for $162, plus 6.99 shipping.

Even though they list the card as OEM, the product number
staples checks against is the same. Looks like a retail
card for an OEM price.

Why get a GeForce 256 when you can get a 32MB GeForce2 GTS for ~ $160?

Wasn't compugeeks selling these cards for I think $99 like 2 weeks ago?
Windogg is right why get a Geforce 256 when you can get a Geforce 2 GTS for about that same price, or lower.

It is a GTS card, according to the Visiontek webpage. It has
a 350Mhz clock, so it's not your run-of-the-mill DDR board.

The GeForce 256 GTS DDR and GeForce2 GTS DDR are NOT the same. Teh GeForce 256 is the original GeForce and it comparable to the GeForce2 MX.

Not to crap but the link to the VisionTek page is NOT the GeForce 256.

Fixed the info. Confusing, but it looks like staples description
is just plain out of date. Guess I'll find out in a day or two.
