314787 2005-01-17 09:22:00 I've got one of them Sparkle cards, If others had been available at the time i wouldn't have got one though.

Sparkle have had in the past a name much like Eagle, However in a review i got hold of the build quality was rated higher then many name brands so it shows the pitfalls of being a brand snob.

The card performs near exactly on benchmarks as the test sites reported, Overall I'm perfectly happy with the card, Games have never looked so sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

(as to the mention of the Nvidia reference desighn,nearly all negative feedback about these cards has been due to the nVidia design having a poor method of attaching the cooling element,with the seal breaking from just handling the unit on some of the pci-e cards, then of course the card overheats.......)

314788 2005-01-17 10:26:00 myself, I've bought quite a few things from supercheap and have not had any problems (though the same can't be said for the computer my friend got)
but if there's three things they should fix:

1) get a bigger shop
2) employ more people
3) find whoever assembles the computers they sell and fire them.

Anyway if you've ever been to their shop you will know why they don't answer the phone quickly.

well I checked out sparkle's website, and it seems and fair bit more decent than eagle's (not sure if that means anything, but anyway), and im pretty sure I'll get the card

Oh, and if you desperately want my Ti4200, you can probably have it - though I wouldn't recommend it.
