>>> I "have to" have a Banshee card by Oct. 10. Does anyone have a recommendations as to which board is the best and which is the cheapest? Where can I buy it from (keeping the time constraint in mind). <<< I would like to know the same actually, but here's what I know. Information is readily available about the Banshee cards from Diamond, Creative Labs, and Wicked3D. You can get the Diamond one for $120, the CL one for $99 (after rebate), and the Wicked3D one for $140. I would REALLY like to know how these cards stack up against one another. I know the CL card uses SDRAM which is probably 5-10% slower than an SGRAM card. I know the Wicked3D sports a DVD unit as well. As far as I know all these cards will be out by the 10th but the Wicked3D one should be the first out, then the CL card (on the 1st maybe?) and I think the Diamond on the 10th. In general I don't look much at European hardware but if someone thinks the euro boards are worth looking into, throw us a bone. I really wish Quantum3D would get off its bum and release a little info about their Banshee solution already. -G
