I got a sparkle Geforce 4 Ti4400 128Mb.
Card works great, overclocks to Ti4600 speeds without complaint, good card.
EXCEPT!
It isn't compatible with the Win2k/XP default nVidia driver. Which means that you can't install 2k/xp without first either a) burying an updated detonator driver in the install before running it, or b)installing Win98 then upgrading. (When I say 'isn't compatible', I mean you get a screen-full of colourful random lines as soon as windows setup tries to initialise the display)
I tried bios updates to fix it, but no luck. Maybe it's just a compatibility problem with my Epox 8KHA+ mobo, but it's still irritating. But then, it is just an annoyance, once you got windows installed no problems.

My Sparkle card was a *lot* cheaper than any of the more well known brands, and I knew it had good quality memory from hunting around on the net.
