Hi-Val doesn't manufacture anything. They are a low-cost
relabeler of products manufactured by others. I am still
pissed at them because they filed for bankruptcy a while back,
and screwed me on a $30.00 rebate.
I have bought several Hi-Val items for use in cheap PCs.
They all seemed to work OK. You can usually figure
out who really built the item, and get better drivers.
I would suggest staying away from any rebate deals, however,
if that is the key factor in your purchase. They are horrible
about paying off, and have been through this bankruptcy deal
to clear out bad debt several times.
