that's the before applicable taxes and shipping charges though. So, it could have actually been cheaper to have gotten it from FeeBay  . |

But I'm in germany and here the normal prize for a GTX is about 640-690$. So for me, it was a good prize u c  The card you mentioned above costs 643$ and that's on of the lowest prizes you can find here: http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a238782.html
Anyway, the card is worth it's prize!  |

Finally! I'm one of the chosen elite 
8800GTS 320 (for $288CDN)
What's the best driver to install? I looked around and the 163.11 seem to have a decent rep so far. |

I have my monitor set to power down after 30 minutes of inactivity, but have no issues with it waking up. That's one thing I've found a lot more stable in Vista, sleep mode. I never used to use it, but now I use it on my main rig and my HTPC.

Hi all!!!!
I can join in now. My BFG GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 OC arrived yesterday!
I'm trying to find a good driver for XP. What driver works for you all?
I got a new flat screen 22" Monitor, and a lot of PC stuff (Delta 1010LT, Logitech Gaming wheel and pedals, Shure KSM27 Mic, M Audio Keystation Pro 88 MIDI controller, Saitek X52, etc.). I'm loving the upgrade.

Hi Necrosis:
That Delta 1010LT is a really nice card, much better than the Creative Audigy 2 ZS.
I remember when you made a post in a thread I started when I used the Audigy in music production. I really appreciated you visiting the thread and commenting on the song! With this new card, music production should be a lot better. LOL I'm glad I was finally able to get a professional level audio card.
BTW, that's a kick butt graphics card you have man, and a lot of RAM! I reckoned that that graphics card was overkill for me, but I like my 8800 GTS, and I'm impressed with it's performance. I might not be the best equipped gamer, hardware wise, but with this new 8800 GTS, I can hang with the best of them.
Cya around, man.

WOW! I just got a 5000+ black edition x2 and clocked it right up to 3.15ghz (upgrade from my crying 3800 single core that was clocked 3.05ghz) AND OMG did my system love me for it! I now know my proc was a major bottle neck for the 8800gtx, without changing game settings at all, I saw a 35 FPS increase with just about every GAME! I could play all my games maxed up before, But now I have plenty of power to spare, I love this 8800! It keeps the power coming with every little upgrade I keep throwing at it!
Oh, and for those of us still pushing AM2, buy this proc NOW! tiger had it for 99 buck the other day! It is freaking the best upgrade you will ever imagine. 3.15ghz on air (arctic freezer 64, $20 from newegg) and I can still push it more! My memory is the only thing holding me back right now, But at 3.15 who cares?!
