Even though Newegg states the specials end at a certain time, sometimes the specials will still be available till midnight PST. If you miss the offer, Newegg seems to have one of these types of cards on sale almost every week for $14.99-$19.99.
These cards are great for upgrading from integrated graphics. Definitely help with 1080p playback.
All true but I have to list the fine print or else the complaints roll in...

waiting for a 128bit card for the $15 price. havent seen one in a while.
dual dvi is nice but not sure i see any difference between dvi and vga. i have two 21.5" monitors, one to vga and other to dvi.
dont see a difference when surfing the web, or doing word/excel.
The DVI is a bit more crisp. When did you see a 128 bit card for $15, can you give me a link even if expired ?

I remember going out and buying a DVI cable to connect my monitor back when DVI was pretty new. My video card had both DVI and VGA outputs and I figured it was worth 10 bucks to have a better display. I was sorely disappointed in the lack of any visible difference in image quality. I even tried squinting my eyes.

4myrebate is handling it, they're usually pretty good.

I second this. From personal experience. I will never buy or recommend Zotac product ever. With or without rebate.

You would be right on rebates direct with Zotac, this one is through 4myrebate which I've never had a problem with. In fact I usually take the "No-Wait" option and get it in 10-14 days for a cost of 10% of the rebate.
