Hi,

I had an MSI ATI Radeon X1300 PRO 256MB PCI-Express (Card: MSI,
Chipset: ATI) video card for little less than 2 years before the fan
stopped working. I didn't notice it and eventually the fan melted. Now
I need to get a replacement. Should I just buy the same ATI model that
melted or should I get the nVidia GeForce equivalent (Which would
be.....)? Is the GeForce equivalent cheaper?

Thanx

Here is an X1650 Pro PCI-Ex for about $61, including tax and shipping.

Thanx for the reply. I can't get it from that site because I need the
card fast. Plus, I found a 512MB ATI Radeon X1600 PRO PCI-Express at
Future Shop for $159.99 CAN (Normal price: $239.99). See here:

I think I might be able to get the card today or tomorrow.

OK, I actually ended up getting an ATI Radeon X1650 PRO 512MB PCI-
Express card. Looks good.

Thanx
