Hi All,

	I ordered a bunch of Hercules 3D prophet MX boards and I have one
that I don't have a machine to put in.  It has not been used, thus it
still has a one-year warranty and I can give my sales receipt.  It is an
OEM board, so you won't get fancy packaging.  The 128-bit memory bus SDRAM
boards are far better than the 64-bit DDR boards - this is a far faster
card than the Creative MX board.  It has Hitachi SDRAMs on it and the
other MX boards I ordered with this one I have easily clocked to 185MHz
core with fan, and the memory runs at the standard 183MHz without problem.
I'd like to sell it for around $120 shipped to your door, since it is
brand new.  This is about $25 less than I paid for it.  I will entertain
offers.  It is a great 'inexpensive' gift for someone for x-mas.

	To give an idea about how it does - stacked up against the GeForce
GTS, it is about on par overall.  The MX surpasses the GeForce at low
resolutions even at 32bit color.  At higher resolutions and color depths,
the memory bandwidth limits the card.  The MX is far cheaper than the
Geforce GTS (generally about 40%), and also does not have the power issues
that plague Athlon users - that is why I bought these cards - as it
consumes only about 4W of power because it was originally designed to go
into notebooks.  Overall, a great deal, and it does all the T&L and other
nifty features of the GeForce2 series.

Regards,
