Dude, this is not Mark's fault. I was with Mark that day at frys' seeing
this M64 card too, it doesn't say ANYTHING about being an M64 card, and the
box has the picture of a real TNT2 card with a fan/heat sink on it. When we
got it home and install it, we find out that the card looks much smaller
than shown on the box and it has no fan, only a much smaller heat sink on
it.

$100 for a TNT2 card is cheap, but for a M64 is kind of expensive. If
someone buy that BD board online instead of frys', they will have to pay
extra to ship it back and lose restocking fee. It is Best Data's
responsibility to make sure the spec is not confusing the customer, or else
it is a fraud. Never in their website or on the card did they warn people
about it. So IT IS A FRAUD.
