Just wondering how succesful you have been at overclocking yours if you have one. I just got one (end of last week) so hopefully i can get it to GF3 Std speed
:D
I included the overclocked speeds that I got in that Prolink review, but you'll have to wait until it's back on the server (I'm at work at the moment). If I recall, though, it was just a bit shy of the standard GF3 speeds... but at much less money it was still rocking right along. :)

Ok, let's revive this thread - as I'm in the market for once of these (and I'm courteous enough not to unecessarily start a new thread) What are the better brands? I'm looking for value, as well as overclockability (most importantly of Ram).
I don't require DVI support, TV out or even hw temp monitoring. Don't need a fancy box, white one will do, don't need stripped down versions of games or other commerical graphics software I will never use.
What I do want is decent RAM 4.0nS or 3.8nS (if it exists on a ti200) and ramsink. I ain't shelling out the big bucks to get a top of the line vid card that don't come with ramsinks!!
I've done some brief research, here are my findings (correct me if any of the points are wrong):
Almost all brands at stock speed perform within margin of error. So there's no speed diff between a "brand name" vs generic.
Leadtek T version in Aust may/may not come with ramsinks, luck of the draw (cost cutting gone too far IMHO).
eVGA promises 3.3nS memory, but the limitations of the PCB means it won't even get close to its potential of 600Mhz.
Abit Siluro's consistently overclock well. Both mem and core. They have a nice red coloured PCB to boot! ;)
MSI-8851 have decent memory, and have been known to o/c very well too. BLUE coloured PCB! :)
Hercules ones have half height blue orbs on them. That is all... :p
Oh, a US based online shop that have 'em for around $US170 (excl postage/shipping) would be nice too - is that too ambitious?!
$155 US.. Quite a difference. Just goes to show you.. wait a bit and you might save some cash.
BAH! Who wants to wait!

Well, all Gf3/200's come with ramsinks to my knowledge, but all the good ones do for sure.
I dont think any have 3.8ns ram, only 4
As for overclocking, i might try mine now >:P
I got a herc btw
Oh, mind you i put a full size blue orb onto mine with arctic silver 2, and it has a card cooler with 2 smaller fans glued onto it (card cooler) next to the video card
