I found a Visiontek GeForce 3 Ti200 for 79.00
here is the page:
<A HREF="http://www.target-sale.com/tusa/items/videoagp/" target="_new">http://www.target-sale.com/tusa/items/videoagp/&lt;/A>
scroll to the bottom to see it.
The people at the store have told me its not a typo, I believe them, but I dont understand why It's so cheap. Sure, its oem, and it has no features, but I've seen other cards like that for like 110 bucks or more.
I noticed that it looks different than the visiontek card in the geforce 3 ti roundup.
heres the one in the roundup:

And heres the one at the store:
<A HREF="http://www.target-sale.com/tusa/items/videoagp/i03074.h..." target="_new">http://www.target-sale.com/tusa/items/videoagp/i03074.h...;/A>
The heatsinks are a different color and theres a different fan, so does that mean that card manufacturer has made different versions?
I just want to make sure I dont get some barely overclockable or just generally faulty card. Thanks!

I don't think the picture depicts the actual card. Take a look at all 3 Geforce3 Visiontek products......there all alike. Spooky, isn't it?

I sold my sig for $50.

i ran a search in google image search for visiontek xtasy 6564 and all the pics are of cards with blue heatsinks. i dont understand what this other card is. is there a difference between a visiontek geforce 3 ti200 and a visiontek xtasy 6564?

Does <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/showimage.html?u=http://images..." target="_new">this</A> look familiar anyone? (It's the Ti500, but the Ti200 is exactly the same without the DVI I believe) Seems like that's a pic of the reference Ti200 to me.
