Asus V7100 2V1D 32 MB 6ns SDR DRAM 2 VGA, 1 DVI-I Excellent output options, no TV-out, premium price. $189
ELSA Gladiac MX 32 MB 6ns SDR DRAM Optional purchase. Still hasn't shipping and street price is higher than expected. $199
Leadtek WinFast GeForce2 MX 32 MB 6ns SDR DRAM 1 VGA, 1 S-Video S-Video quality is low. $149
MS StarForce 816 32 MB 6ns SDR DRAM 1 VGA, 1 S-Video Best TV-out quality. $149
Prolink PixelView GeForce2 MX 32 MB 6ns SDR DRAM 1 VGA, 1V-Video, 1 Composite Excellent price, questionable availability. $129
SUMA GeForce2 MX 32 MB 6ns SDR DRAM (6ns tested, 5.5ns shipping) 2 VGA, 1 S-Video Excellent output options, possibly shipping faster memory, limited availability. $149

Table notes:

  • ELSA's Gladiac still hasn't shipped and is on backorder. Also, the price on the street has actually risen from the expected $189 to $199 and only one store I found was pre-selling.
  • The Prolink PixelView card might be a pain to get a hold of as they're not carried in many stores that I know of in the US.
  • The SUMA board will be unavailable to many of us because of limited availability. SUMA also claims to be shipping a faster SDR version upon release.
