*ugh*

I actually owned a Card looking exactly like that, but I (currently) don't find it (?)

IMHO, I still should have it, but it's vanished for now *scratches head*

If it ever turns up again, I'll let you know.

- edit -
Patience was first, and now I know what to look for in my house *g*

Heh, I own TWO of these (yup it's SLI time!) Grin

BOTH of mine are boxed with original stuff (inc. demo CD in one of the boxes). Grin

Also one of my cards is in a FRENCH box! Shocked

Only problem was getting two of them as they are RARE! Roll Eyes

(And they STILL need a fan despite the heatsinks!) Tongue

I managed to purchase one on ebay from under FalconFly's nose last week, with all the retail boxed packaging and everything. Wink Grin

Hmm, they perform as well as any other V2. Roll Eyes

However...the best bit is the 'built in' heatsinks! Wink

This means that with a nice 80mm cooling fan and (maybe) a Zalman fan mate or pyramid fan limiter...you'll be SET! Cheesy

Set for what? ???

For REALLY smooth 1024x768 GLiDE gaming! Grin

I've tested these cards in SLI and they run nice and smooth playing UT, Unreal and Return to Na Pali! Grin

(which, let's face it was what the V2 was INVEVTED for, mwahahahaha!) Wink Cheesy Grin

==edit==

Forgot to say that mine are currently idling in their boxes at the moment (my new mobo is NFORCE2 400 ULTRA, so no V2's allowed!) Cry

Also, it's quite hard to get a matching pair of these (took me about 6 months to find the second one...) Shocked

You're right about the Unreal games, it really does bring out the true colours of the V2. Wink

Shame to hear about the V2's not in action. How come? What is with the nForce2? No compatibility with the mobo (different PCI bus?), no room to fit them?  ???
