    Hey all again. I thought I would give you all an update. I cancelled my order above in favor for the one below. I had planned to get a 6800 used off ebay for my 9300... and then I realized why not just get in IN the system... plus of course the 9400 actually has the 7800! And dual core. The price difference is less than 200 bucks and I am getting a much better system... a much "newer" system. I think I made a good choice.
