Just spotted that... proper low profile GTS250.
Cunning huh?
Apart from anything else.. I didn't know sparkle still existed :)
My first ever PCI card was a sparkle :) WITH 2MB ON IT :)
It made my PC rock
I likey the looky, but the extra power requirements are beyond my only low profile case (which currently has a Duron 700 and 512MB 133MHz SDRAM on an unknown SIS-based mobo in it!). If I get to one of the LANs this year I'll probably replace all that and go with a 5570 though - I think it's a better all round package, although not as powerful, obviously. My other option would be to stick my old 3GHz Celeron in one of those s478 boards with PCI-e, but I can't help thinking that a netburst Celeron D - even at 3GHz - is going to bottleneck my gaming experience somewhat ;)
Microdirect quite often seem to have Sparkle stuff in stock...
CCL have the low profile GTS250 cards in stock:
