Anyhoo, congrats on the win, well deserved! (Both on eBay and footie)

Well, I don't know, too, but one thing is really weird for me, too: I had no chance in finding the card when I searched for it, neither at ebay.com, nor ebay.ca or ebay.de, it didn't matter if I was logged in or not, it just wouldn't show up. I found the auction only by hint of a friend of mine who said he found it via ebay.com.
Another thing I am puzzled about: apparently the members from the Netherlands (NitroX Infinity?) and Romania (G1nX?) who asked questions about shipping costs didn't bid on it, and I know they are hard contenders normally. Wink

I think NitroX was the first bidder on the item. As for myself I was watching the auction but did not ask the question about shipping there are other collectors from Romania. I was not tempted in bidding for it as I have two of these cards one of them with a small bracket and that's enough for me as can be seen in the picture bellow

Anyhow congrats on a very nice card!
Cheers,

Reply #1085 - 28.06.10 at 11:31:14 Yes, I made a first bid of $1 to check if I could bid. Happened too many times that a seller told me I could bid but didn't change the auction's settings. Unfortunately, I missed the ending of the auction once again due to tv. Congrats, Eye-Q

I was wanting to bid on that card if it wasn't for the high shipping which was a factor. Also the need for a pass through wasn't a thrill either.

I think so so too by referencing pictures on the web, but also some of the markings of the card. I know I don't take very good pictures but on one memory module there is written "A021" and another clue is the pcb date 2498 pretty early for a Banshee.

The card that Gary has in that picture also has the chip the handles the TV-Out ports and few of the ones I've seen have it.
See here also the 8Mb version of the same card
