Never heard of them, I'd go with Sapphire becuase they are more well known.

Hes Talking about Vision Tek, They name many of their cards Xtasy. Sapphire accualy makes the Vision Tek boards so they will perform about the same. BTW the 9100 is a lame card, unless its for a PCI slot and not an agp.

Well what do you want to do? Do you have an AGP slot? and list the mhz of your CPU
I suggest a Geforce 3 Ti500, If you have a AGP slot here is the site http://shentech.com/vige64ddragp2.html It has good overclocking abilities, and it can play UT2004 and BF1942 Perfectly. Its 49 bucks so you cant beat it for the price!
If you dont have a AGP slot then go for the 9100, it is the best PCI video card.
