TO ALL THAT WANT THIS MX:
ITS SLOWER
i dont know where abra gets his results, but the maximum mem bandwidth for the MX is slower, resulting in a slower card.
creative is using DDR because it looks good, and 7ns ddr ram is cheaper than 6ns or 5.5ns SDram.
other SDR MX's will be faster, so dont be tempted by this one.
and the price is great, but who really cares if its not going to be in stock for another month.
if it was in stock, it would be a warm deal, as other MX's are hovering around the same price, with the lack of creative brand backing.
if you can find it in stock, at this price, its a warm deal.
remmeber, its still a slower card, and at their maximum mem bandwidths,
the SDR will come on top.
if this ddr memory on the creative was using 128 bit, over clocked it would compare to the gTS.
but then nvidia would be loosing money. they need a low end competitor that offers good performance at a good price. the same can be seen in intel's celeron and AMD's duron.
so please stop making a fuss on a slower card thats not in stock, AT buy.com

Steve
