    I got me a 4850. I don't need your silly 8800GTS. Just kidding.

    Just head over to the marketplace section and post that you hvae an 8800GTS for sale. It's probably worth around 80 bucks or so.

    LOL You thought I was selling my 8800GTS??

    By the way, I was wondering...If nVidia is going to stop making chipsets, why has Apple come out saying that they are going to take up and start using nVidia chipsets instead of Intel ones??? Has anyone else heard this??

    lol

    Apple is retarded. First they use all the faulty Nvdia cards instead of ATI and their Macbook Pros are failing like crazy. Now they will use the much more unreliable Nvidia chipsets?

    Might as well make an OS that is difficult to get software support for. Oh wait...

    Mort: What's different about the slipstream to other fans that means you can't adjust it in the BIOS? I would assume any 3-pin fan can be adjusted in the same manner as any other...
    Theone: Good news in my book. Will be interesting to see what happen with SLI now. Hopefully Intel will implement it for the nvidia fanboys better than nvidia did. I'm tired of people buying nforce boards and wondering why they don't work. Honestly, what happened to nvidia? Desktop GPUs are the only thing they can make that doesn't break or suck!
    Abuzar: LOL, just plain lol @ the mac comment. I doubt Mac will elect an ailing manufacturer, I'm pretty sure that's why they dumped IBM for the Core 2s a little while back, that was the best decision Apple ever made IMO.

    They DID select Nvidia GPUs and their Laptops are failing left and right.

    I'll reserve judgement until I see some official test results.

    Yeah that. What's this, a GPU in a CPU? That would make upgrades a bit more expensive...

    A friend of a newly acquired friend told me that the price of the 4870X2 will be very similar to the GTX280, so on that basis I may be buying one of those instead. Sure it's noisy, but with the huge power consumption of the new cards, especially in crossfire, I may have to use my gaming PC for just that, and start using my server as a normal PC instead (which will mean me fixing it! lol)

    Plus, the 4870X2 only uses one slot and my board has two. I think you can see where this is going...
