I was thinking of getting this, but it sounds like it's to good to be true?
Any thoughts appreciated..

$127 for a used one or $165 for a OEM on the same site, sounds reasonable.

I bought one of these new in March of 2004, for $230. It's a good card, but
my Geforce 6800 (I got the OC version from BFI) outperforms it by ~30%. I
still use it in my second computer and it's very solid and holds up well to
most games, although Tiger Woods 2005 will bring it to its knees.

Tiger Woods 2004 plays silky smooth on my PC and it only cost me $9.99
CAD at Walmart. ;-)
