Advice on new budget graphics card

Tempest: Yup, your advice saved me! Thanks
Looks like nVidia has reduced the die size resulting in the chip running cooler, coz my card came with only a heatsink!

good thing, IIRC the original tnt2 ultra had some heat problems.

I checked out the specs for TNT2 Pro - its made using a 0.22 micron die, whereas the older TNT2's used the 0.25 one. No wonder nVidia came up with this Pro version, and that too with only a heatsink, and no fan!
