Get this: for once, this hotsy-totsy low-end card is not merely available, but available in the US (via the L'Inq in the article, which is to the S# GStore). From the specs, it would actually be a decent alternative to the HD2400PRO 256MB PCIe Gen1 cards that litter this pricing space right now. What I'd *really* like to see - a 512 MB version (or even an AGP 8X version).
The one issue here is that the card comes to market well after NV and ATI have already eaten up much of the sales for lowend cards. They should really try and release the lowend cards from S3 before or at the same time and NV and ATI. 15% preformance increase over the others isnt a lot considering the other two already sold to everyone that wanted them.
It's always good to see competition in this graphics space. Saw this card a while back and some Germans (tomshardware I think) used it to run Crysis - the point is, it won't be in benchmark hall of fame anytime soon but it works! Sweet...

I just went to the site through the "here" link (sorry, lINQ) and the price was only $59.99 US, but still out of stock. I'd think of using one on a HTPC.
