Glad to see that you're doing research before you buy. Trust me, you won't regret it in this case. My friend (who just purchased a Duron 600 system this month) purchased the eVGA GF2 MX to follow suite with the MSI motherboard and Duron. After I told him that the MX's overclock well, he bought the eVGA, and I gave him the coolbits.reg file - so he decided to start overclocking. Much to his dismay, the board wouldn't overclock much more than 3MHz+ for the core. Once he tried that, artifacts began to appear on the screen in UT. My guess: it was just a bad board. But, just to be safe, I'd be sure to check out that brand in and out before buying it. The place he bought it from hardly spoke English, although they had an English website, and were terrible with the RMA. Right now he's happy with his new GF2 MX, a Hercules/Guil board that overclocks to the maximum with the coolbits.reg file. Here's the email he sent to me [the friend that actually bought the board] from the place he bought his eVGA board from:

Hi,
You must look up the MB information on your POST screen when your system boots up.
You can use the MB's FCC ID number to search the MB driver at http://www.windrivers.com
( FCC ID search)
Thanks

Subject: Returning a product.
I'm looking to return a defective product that I have bought. I do not want a replacement. I just want my money back. I am aware of the 15% retocking fee, which I fee is a rip-off since you will just get a brand new one from the company by sending them the defective one. I need the information so this can go smoothly, and I can get my money, and you get what I bought. I've looked through your website and found nothing. Thank you.

Gotta love it when they don't even reply to the right EMAIL..
