Title: What is a reasonable price for a 1260 nowadays?
Post by: Gulliver on March 25, 2010, 10:58:00 PM

What is a reasonable price nowadays for either an Apollo 1260 or a Blizzard 1260?
I mean with no extras whatsoever, no scsi, ram, but working.

$200-$250?

An Apollo 1260 went for $200 here recently.

Blizzard?  Closer to $350-$400.  Apollos always seem to go for less.

Well, not really.
My firend sold Apollo 1260@80MHz (1260@80MHz) + 64MB of RAM for 270GBP few days ago.
So if you will find something at $200 don't even think a second, just buy it :-)

Apollos aren't that bad :)

If you have a1200 in original case with hd and you mobo revision isn't 2b, apollo 040 / 060 is best choise.

Apollo are amazingly fast, even so that you might think that you blizzard is broken because it feels so much slower, in certain tasks.

I was lucky enough to own both cards and the apollo was way faster than the blizzard and noticeably so.
I know own only the apollo 1260 @ 80mhz and i wouldn't sell it for less than £250 if i wanted to sell.
