| Re: Just ordered......the...... prolly like $500+ and its going to be more or less unstopable in games as far as cooling, see how it behaves with stock cooling + what you've got, your sig says Stacker 830, which should be more than capable of handling these two |

| Re: Just ordered......the...... rotfl dude the 9800GTX's have come down to $200/ea, so that might be something to think about another idea, is GTX 260, newegg has one for $299 right now (eVGA too), and i can't find anything in its specs that show it as a cut-down (still 448-bit/896MB full clocks etc) figure, if you're saving, whats another $200 for like 20-30% more power, lol |

| Re: Just ordered......the...... One 9800GTX can play on high settings fairly well. 30-50fps. |
