has anyone tried the Volari video cards? they seem to be pretty good, with 256-bit memory, and there only $70. But i've heard of many compatibility issues, so just wondering if anyone here has one or tried these cards, and if there any good.

I wouldn't trust buying it because I'm sure you could get a better ATi or nVidia card for $70 but this is just my opinion. Find a specific Volari model and see if there are any reviews on it.

If they showed the memory speed, core speed, pipelines, it would be easier to compare, but all it shows is RAMDAC (which is the same as the others, 400Mhz) and that its 256bit. I most likely wouldnt buy one, i just want to know if anyone here has tried them before, and what they have to say on it.
