    ScanFX any good?

    Are ScanFX Graphics cards any good? Are they on a par with XFX, BFG or Leadtek?

    Most ScanFX cards are OEM XFXs... so rest assured they're top of the class..

    I recall teh ScanFX 7800GTX are OEM Nvidia cards themselves with the 512MB coolers..
    Me want Ultrabook

    Everything from the Geforce FX and above is Dual link
    Some GF4's might have even had it on their DVI ports, not sure though
