They have a nice site for checking on its status, but it hasn't updated to become so much as a "received" or "processing" yet. They have a print-out form that's been assigned a short ID, and they're taking longer than companies that have to read my handwriting. Other Thoughts: MSI products seem to be reliable, and might have a place in future builds of mine, but unless the product is out-right cheap then I need to know I can trust the company. This isn't a "buyer beware" so much as a "buyer be patient" warning, for the time-being. from Newegg.com Pros: Works great, pushing HDMI 720p video and sound through it to my Yamaha receiver then Panasonic tv. No problems. from Newegg.com Cons: Sound or lack there of. Isn't supported through HDMI. There was a SPDIF connector cable supplied but it is for attaching to my MB, which doesn't have the correct PINS. After looking on the MSI website I found a video that shows multiple cables one External and one Internal they supply with the cards. from Newegg.com Plays 1080p on a 60" Pioneer Kuro like a dream. No problems installing. Cons: The documentation and drivers were old - but what video card comes with the latest drivers? from Newegg.com Works great for this 3+ yr old computer. Cheap. Stays cool unlike the last video card that popped capacitors Cons: none so far from Newegg.com I tried to look up the sound with the little cable thatcame with it as I use HDMI, but I was getting feedback and "ghostsin the machine" if you will, so I disconnected and the sound is fine. I use Behringer ms-20 speakers so no big deal. My eyes are prettyjacked up anymore, so maybe it's showing video better than I cantell. Who knows.. from Newegg.com Pros: 512 MB video card for CHEAP Cons: Does not have dual on-board DVI for dual monitoring. 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 VGA. from Newegg.com Pros: HDMI output. Windows & recognized it and automatically installed the drivers for. Very nice improvement over my old 256 mb card. Cons: None Other Thoughts: None. from Newegg.com It Recommends using a 300w power supply but works great so far with my 220w in the sx2800. Go straight to Nvidia website and download latest drivers. MSI website is not updated with latest drivers. from Newegg.com Pros: Low profile, HDMI, relatively inexpensive, decent performance. Cons: Had some issues with it touching my southbridge fan but thats been worked out. Other Thoughts: Had two 6600GTs from MSI before and the fans died on both of them constantly (replaced free twice though). This ultimately ruined one card when it went unnoticed. from Newegg.com
