8800GTX for 20 euros :P

hehe not really, but remember my 7950gx2 was broken and was returned to the shop? Today I called em up cuz it was taking quite long and they said it was indeed broken (duh, no shit sherlocks!) and that I was gonna get a replacement. So I said "ok, how.. You dont have the 7950gx2 in your stores anymore". So the guy asks me what we should do now, so I told him "Well the way I see it you have two options, the 8800gts or the 8800gtx and I can tell you right now that I will not agree on replacing my 7950gx2 with an 8800gts" So he said "You are right, it's a different price-category, so what we can do is this. You got the 7950gx2 for 529 euro's and the 8800gtx is 549, so for 20 euro's extra we will exchange it for a 8800gtx"

lololol
:)

well.. it's a monster of a card size-wise. this thing is fucking huge. Im gonna shut down now and replace my card. Lets hope it actually fits :P

good job, though to get the full performance out of the card you will at least need a quad core.

yah well.. I'll update to 6600 or 6700 core2 in a couple months, perhaps a quad if they are decently priced by that time.

The Quad will be at a decent price arround the 22th of July. Atleast, in the Netherlands.

Though you should really think about buying either Dual, or Quad. If you're into video-editting then the choice would be simply Quad. However know that most of the software isn't even ready for Dual yet. So do keep the E6850 in mind since that Dualcore will be "bang for the buck".

//Offtopic:
I don't even know why I'm telling you this, since you'd probably already know this all :) Anyway good luck choosing. I personally regret buying the E6700 when it was really expensive :( It's performance however is topnotch. But I would rather have the E6850.

You're only saying that because your mom bought you a quad core.

What's your problem ? You make a stupid statement and become so aggressive for no reason. E-thug at work T_T

it's just a fact, this is just a conclusion by alot of known OC'ers.

A more balanced conclusion would be to test a good handful of different games like most over-clocking/hardware sites I read do (hexus/ bit-tech) before making stupid statements like that.
