Not a thing is wrong with it. I have both the retail & the Gatrox, each with 4megs. The Gatrox doesn't have the same hardware upgrade capabilities as the retail ver. No mpeg slot, & to be honest, I don't know about the tv tuner slot, etc. There is *no* noticble performance difference in the cards the way I use them, with just the 4 megs. I use Sony Vivitron 17inch monitors, which aren't capable of the refresh rates 220mhz ramdacs provide, so it's a non-issue for me. If the Gatrox is cheap, I'd snag it, as they're quite nice!
