| phogen's Full Review: Leadtek WinFast GeForce 256 DDR |
I actually bought this card used from my friend. He sold it to me for a cheap $130. At this price this is one of the best graphic cards for the money. If you know anything about graphic cards, you know geforce is the way to go. This is the DDR version of the card, which stands for Double Data Rate. Basically the memory runs twice as fast as the regular card. The WinFast DDR comes with a huge heatsink on the chip which makes this card very easy to overclock. I've been able to overclock this card to fairly high clock and memory speeds with no problem at all. As you might know, nvidia has now come out with the geforce2 and the geforce2MX. The geforce2 is a very high end card, and is fairly expensive. The geforce2MX however is aimed at the budget market and it's a great price and is very fast. From what i've seen the geforce2MX beats out the regular geforce, but the geforce DDR, edges out the MX. If you can get the leadtek DDR used for a good price then go with that. If you have to have a brand new card, and don't want to spend a lot of money, then go with the geforce2 MX.
