Caveat Emptor: Some vendors selling LE version Radeons

[wyvrn]

Mods please allow this. I know it is a double post, but not everyone frequents the video card forum.

Newegg and some others are selling crippled LE versions of the 32MB DDR Radeons as full versions. This is misrepresentation (fraud, whatever...) and you should be able to get your money back. Be careful.

If you want to tweak your LE to be equivalent to full 32MB DDR, then click here (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=341505&highlight_key=y&keyword1=newegg%20&keyword2=radeon) .

Yeah I ALMOST ordered one from them and even called and asked em about it, the guy assured me it was the same as retail but no "video editing software" when I looked at ATI's webpage and compared the 2 of them (they had a pic both sites) things didnt add up, especially no fan, and then looking deeper into ATI's site found they sell "bulk" versions that "could have different specs" so I bailed, I DID buy a retail boxed Radeon DDR64vivo from them (181$) and had it in my hands the next day, talked to a couple different people there, they seem VERY non informed about what they sell, I as usual, asked alot of Q's and checked into it deeper or id have one of them myself... (cant complain about the price or shipping costs/time)
