I'm fairly certain that you can put peanut butter in a PCI slot and connect your monitor to it and it would be better then that integrated chipset. Chunky requires more cooling though.
Seriously, buy it. :) For $30 your going to get a decent upgrade.
The 84.21's are working for me, video wise. Unfortunately there's still some artifacts (black pixels at certain placeson the screen, over icons and certain graphics...). Also, I'm just having some IRQ issues with my board that's frustrating as heck. (Gotta love PCI2 and 5 sharing an IRQ, but...
Hrm. Hard decision. I can't seem to find any info on it, but does anyone know about IRQ sharing on this board? The older board I'm using has some serious conflict issues with my cards, and even though the audio card and network card would be out, I'd still need the PVR150 and the PCI video...
Hotness kind of cooled off with this:

Tied in with the coming price drops, your saving approx. $20 it seems...still warm IMHO :) Nice find.
Yeah, I got a bunch when I googled - unfortunately you can turn up a bunch of crap. And shockingly for some reason I looked for an nvidia forum and couldn't find it. My brain is just off today (monday and all). Apologies for that.
And bunny, found that info after I posted that. I'll test...
Was hoping for a secondary confirmation at more then one store since another store knew nothing about it - particularly if I'm asking someone to buy/ship one to me.
Damn...I hate not being near Fry's. Also...if someone is willing, I'd pay shipping to get one of these out to me. I need a rig for an HTPC now anyway, the BX133 based system is slowly dying.
I think the big issue that people have with this is that it's technically a 'downgrade' from the earlier versions in regard to memory - and if your using alternate firmwares that comes into play a bit.
From what I've seen, the GL/v4 versions are around $60 around, so people will want to keep...
Well, I figured out the problem. One of the two sticks of memory is bad. Of course, this was also one of the things I got from ZipZoomFly. I'm PRAYING they let me return the one DIMM and keep the other and have them send out one new one so I can keep the PC running. That or cross ship...
