Just a heads up. NewEgg is a pretty
solid site. Be sure to check with
ResellerRatings.com for reliability of
that other vendor.

Firing Squad review said the MSI made
a slight whining sound.
Quote:
"We did observe one strange noise however. In some cases the card itself would make an unusual whining sound. At first we thought it was one of the cooling fans, but the noise persisted when we stopped both of them. This sound reached a crescendo in Nascar 2003 while the game was running memory tests to confirm the screen resolution. The noise itself isn’t loud enough to penetrate a system case, but it was definitely there."
hope this was just a fluke with that one tested card. I got dog ears.
I might be ordering one of these two cards in the next day or so. I'm still hunting down reviews for both cards and reading them carefully.
