Received it the other day. The card did not come with a heatsink, as the picture shows....just the fan. Any reason? No problems thus far, and installation was a breeze.

Don't know why there are any reviews of this Video Card. I guess some people stray away from it because of the price. I recently bought the graphics card to run on Vista along with 4 Gigs of Ram and let me tell you. This is an AMAZING graphics card for the price. Not only did it make my visuals more crisp then my previous 256 MB card it also allows me to run games at higher quality. If your a gamer on a low budget seriously think about buying this card its great for the Value! Don't know about the SLI though i haven't bought 2.
