Visiontek XTASY 5632?

[Yottamatt]

I have built a new computer and need a video card that doesn't suck and does not cost too much.
The XTASY 5632 seems like it is good, and it is cheaper than all the other Geforce2 GTS cards. Has anyone used this or know anything about it?
I use linux as well as windoze, will it work with both?

yes, that is a very good card for a very good price, go for it....also it will work with both oses....

I have this very card but am having some trouble.

Problem:
Am unable to oc past FSB 124 without video artifacts creeping in. By the time it's at 133, resolution is non-existent.

Tested:
- AGP clock at 2/3. Results in black screen after boot but before Windows logo.
- Latest Visiontek drivers (Detonator 4). No help. At FSB 133, goes black screen at Windows logo. Albeit crappy resolution, at least the Microsoft drivers got a display. There are some additional 3D card settings available with the new drivers, but I don't think they'll be any help.
- I/O volts at 3.5. Anything less results in screen freeze in Windows even at FSB 124.

Config:
cpu: P3 550E (Coppermine)
cpu temp: 91 F
mobo: Abit BE6-II v2
RAM: 2 x 256 Mb Micron 2-2-2
HDD: IBM Deskstar 60GXP (60 Gb) @ ATA100
SCSI: Adaptec 2940AU
NIC: Linksys NC100
Sound: Soundblaster Live 5.1
Video: Visiontek Xtasy GeForce2 GTS 32Mb

Am stable at FSB 124, but feel in my gut that there's more to be had if I can get this board to oc like a champ. Have considered trying NVidia reference drivers out of desperation.

Any help getting this card to oc would be greatly appreciated. If no hope, then any recommendations on an oc champ would also be greatly appreciated.

Oh...Forgot to mention OS is WinXP Pro.
