Catch the Best Buy Ad in Sundays paper!  They are selling the STB 4400
Velocity TNT (16 meg) AGP or PCI for $129.99 (retail not OEM)!  Thought
that was a good price, best I saw on the internet was for 128 (OEM).

Went to pick one up today, of course sold out, but were giving rain
checks!  Another best buy had them in stock but was too far away (30
miles).  Got my rain check.  Had rain checks before from best buy and
they always came thru.  Clerk said more were coming in, in the next
couple of days.

I guess I will wait a few days before I take my rain check & ad to
another store, were they do price matches.

I currently have a viper 330 4 meg agp & a Voodoo2 (8 meg).  The viper
has been fair but the latest drivers have been messing my MS Works &
Publisher 98 programs.  Was looking at other cards around $100 bucks but
thought ...why not the STB 4400.  Thought for a few bucks more it would
give me a decent work & gaming setup.

Only have a PII266 & 64 megs, but a good Mitsubishi 87TXM monitor. 
Anyone using a diamond monster voodoo2 & an STB 4400 together?  Any
comments or conflicts?
