TBC at the moment.. was considering a hot-standby X2 based set-up
Even if I don't sell mine, one of our BF2 clan will be selling his BFG 7800GTX O/C.. But I'll confirm either way this week chap

bioforger - LOL and er.. no

_RIP_ - good choice, the 6800GS XXX is a great card

Andy - I'm hoping mine ships today otherwise I've missed the boat

_Meridian_ - its replacing an XFX 7800 GTX 256Mb Ultra Extreme (490/1300) - I did think about SLI'ing, but decided to sell the old GTX instead.

So much for the first come first serve principle - as you may guess somehow I ended up further down the queue and have missed out.

Heres hoping Nvidia/XFX are shipping some more this week...

Yep discracefull , only lasting six weeks untill you "need" to upgrade, must be awfull to have sutch a slow/weak PC

I hope you are lucky enough to get your second one for xmas, but untill then I'm sure you can just about put up with the dismal FPS in solitaire.

......I bet you've already ordered your second one for SLI........

from me, just another poor GTX (256) owner.
