well done.

KillerG, do you speak/read German? I noticed that 3DCenter ia a German web site. (I love playing with demos and benchmarks, but my German isn't what it used to be.)

I would hope that the $$ would be a bit less, since there are many very overclockable retail Ti4200's for less than 150 out there. (mine was $160 6 weeks ago)

Nope, not a word in German has passed these lips in a long time. Too bad really. Being multi-lingual would be tres cool. Oh well...

I always use the press time MSRP for review purposes. After that, it is up to peeps to shop about. I bet their turn to be a "special" is coming too.

Oooh, ooh!!! sho.gun!!! The PCB is BLUE!!!

[KillerG]

OK, as two readers have sent me this info I might as well share it with all. The card has indeed been spotted at newegg.com for $160 (USD).

Apparently Chosen keeps tabs on everything!

This certainly does relieve my concerns about the product's availability.

So...what do you do with the video cards after you review them?

Want to pass one over this way? jk!

Great review!

Heyya GraingerGuy

Sure thing. What is your mailing address? j/k!

Heh heh

To be honest, I have a rather large stack of cards sitting in my office collecting dust. All the way back to a Kyro I reference board if you can believe that!!! I keep them around as long as there is a possibility that I will need them for comparative purposes in new reviews.

I do lend the cards out to several friends and neighbors as soon as I finish testing them. This serves a dual purpose as it makes me one helluva popular guy while at the same time allowing me to have a second and maybe even a third opinion of a product before I publish the review.

I only wish I could bring myself to sell them (and so does my wife!) to help recoup some of the dough I have to spend keeping my test rig up to date. But, I am such a H/W addict that I just can't do it. By the time I get tired of ogling the pile the cards are so old that they don't have much value left.

kinda like my 2 voodoo2 cards in SLI...

Yep, exactly like that.

I eventually sold my Voodoo3/3000 to a friend of a friend. I then sold him a Radeon 32 MB card some months later for a good deal with the agreement that I would get the Voodoo back as a trade in. He never did cough up the card. I am sad I no longer have that card for posterity.
