Just purchased a Sapphire 9700 Pro...

[F/A-18 MechDood]

I got it for $200 and it's only a month old. Just waiting for my PC3200 ram and I can set up my new system. I've been home for 6 days now and already got a new mobo, ram, and vid card. Sheesh.

Any tips on what drivers are the best? I don't plan on o-clocking it, so that isn't an issue.

1 month old = used. I talked to the person I got it from quite extensively after I did the "Buy It Now" on Ebay. It was only posted for 20 minutes. He sent me his phone number after I won the auction. I wouldn't have hesitated to back out and take the bad rep on ebay if it didn't sound legit.

Grrrr..........

Received the card yesterday. Got damaged in shipment from UPS. The heatsink fell off and broke a capacitor off. I called the guy I bought it from and he did the insurance claim on his end. Believe it or not, UPS came today to take the card so this could be settled as soon as possible.

There goes my great deal. Oh well. I spent an extra $100 and went with the Tyan Tachyon G9700 brand new. It will be here next week.
