They forgot to add "Sparkle, the leading video board manufacturer". Only then the deception would be complete.

These marketing guys should be hung and then shot :)

I have seen a lot of sparkles cards on newegg. They look great and the cooling is exeptional for most of their cards.

Doesn't Sparkle make the Nvidia reference cards or something like that?

I had a Sparkle GeForce 6600 GT at one time, can't say I was too happy about it. It used to freeze my box randomly for 3-4 second and that drove me nuts. I was glad to finally trade it in for a Leadtek 6600 GT, that worked flawlessly on the same configuration.

Maybe it was a mobo-vid card compatibility problem... Not sure, had a Gigabyte mobo at the time, but still, I can't say that Sparkle is my first choice when it comes to video products.

I'm sure others might have had better experiences with this brand, but mine wasn't that fortunate.
