Now this is interesting... I picked up a GeForce DDR white box today. It has Creative Labs CT6970 stamped on it, and has usual 32mb of Infineon 6ns DDR onboard. The BIOS does not indicate Creative Labs anywhere but instead indicates a generic NVIDIA BIOS, as version # 2.10.03. So, I was skeptical already. Rather odd thing is, Powerstrip reports the speed of the DDR ram at 286mhz (which in actual fact is only 143mhz DDR), when it should be reporting the speed as 300mhz (150ddr). Anyway, if someone knows a URL where I can find a genuine CL BIOS for this card, let me know, as it would be nice to get this board running full spec eventually. In the meantime, I plan on pounding CL's support staff about this issue - white box or not, they should not be stamping their name on a card with a non-Creative Labs bios onboard. Unprofessional and embarrassing are too terms that jump into my mind, and not by accident... Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide. Chris
