Carl, The reason why nvda decided to stop making SDR GeForce256 is because of the performance of the SDR cards are not much better that the fastest TNT2 cards. Even before GTS, the GeForce256 nvda switched to DDR very early. If there are SDR GeForce256 boards, it's probably only for lower speed graded parts. At one point, only DDR boards were made. As chip supply lightened up, I expect that some SDR boards started to be made again. But the performance delta is drastic. If you buy a GeForce-2 GTS SDR, you board probably will run slower than a DDR-GeForce. Memory bandwidth is a bottomless pit for the graphics guys, you could quad the BW, and they can use it all up. But they are also cheap and won't pay royalties on every chip they make just to get a new memory controller in. Ther margins are low like you won't believe. They are also very anxious about memory supply. JMHO.
