First to your PM , my reply, I am chewing on something tastier than you probably ever will and it is female, LOL
Second, I will not reduce myself to your level of name calling or flaming and refusing to recieve pm's through the forum, and I know it is all in fun cause I think you are probably an ok dude.
Also if you wanna pay $150US for an Ultra that gets beat buy a less expensive cards and sports older technolgy then be my guest.
Anyways your better buy imho would have been a G3 Ti200 for $15-25 US more or for $30 less a retail Powermagic Radeon 7500 with specs the same as retail ATI 7500 and 4ns ram good to 540 by there test
All my comments about the 7500 have been based on alot of reviews and reading plus speaking to reviewers and comparing to Ultra scores and owners of similar systems.
The Ultra does post a few more fps in different seettings. But nothing the eye will notice. It flat out does not produce near the quality of 2D & 3D image quality, can not support TV out at 1024x768 HDTV or provide as good DVD playback. The extra fps can not justify paying $150 for this card
Check these links out to see what I have been saying all along, btw they are using a great brand of Ultra as well
