Can't beat this for a budget card!

Only things even close are those 6200s with the funky system mem setups.

Just ordered one for my wife's PC I am finishing up since she will use it more as a TV (with an ATI 550), picture viewer and she plays those java based games on Yahoo. Killer find! Thank you!

Well, I can't say I am impressed at all with the amount of time it is taking to process my order. It has been 2 full business days with my order being processed, but shipping is still pending. I am wishing I just spent the few extra $$$ and went to NCIX. They are also not the fastest on the planet, but atleast they ship it when they process your order. Boooooo Direct Canada......

In my experience, I have found D.C. to get things shipping faster, so perhaps it is an anomoly

Very possible. This is my first order from them. They are still doing 100 times better than CanadaComputers did with my first online order from them. That took almost 10 days to ship.

I wonder if this is one of the famous X1300 cards they rebadged as an X1600.

For $80 shipped to me, it can be labeled a X1300 for all I care. I just want ANY PCI-E video card to put in her PC so she stops asking to use mine, LOL!!!!

Ordering this card has turned into a major mistake. Now they claim they are out of stock when they were in stock when I paid for it. I have only gotten 1 reply to my emails and it was a placating answer. Never again........

That's a bit of a bummer.

Did you cancel the order?

 

[b1lk1]

In the process of that now. I understand these things happen, but you'd think they would have enough of an inventory control system that would stop orders for stuff that is obviously going to be discontinued so that people don't buy them when there are none left.
