<p>Among one of the formerly unavailable brands, graphics specialist EVGA has recently found a local distributor and is already appearing on retail shelves. A popular and leading brand in the US, it has made waves in the industry for its service and support policies. A lifetime warranty for its graphics cards, a trade-in program to upgrade older EVGA products and a customer support hotline are just some of the pro-consumer policies honored by EVGA. Needless to say, these programs are much welcomed by consumers and could be a strong pull factor in the competitive retail graphics market. Whether all these programs will be brought over in its entirety along with the hardware remains to be seen. But before we delve into those details, a glimpse of the EVGA GeForce 7900 GS KO:</p>
