    The 8800 series has been brought out pretty quick. nVidia has done a good kob, in releasing this product. Here, in the UK, both 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS have been out for about a week. Not many of the shops have them, but those that do, have lots of stock it appears.

    seriously i'm not going to debate grammar over the internet

    the internet police are just too anal

    it was 1 typo

    the words before the word that was mistyped helps in knowing what the mistyped word is

    of course typo in every word is too much but 1 in a dozen is no reason to get your panties in a notch.

    also, there have been studies that suggests that the most important feature of a word that links it to the word in the mind is the first letter, the last letter and the length of the word, so a typo in the middle of the word is not really that devastating


    and ncix isn't that bad, you can price match

    While we are talking about these cards. Does anyone know when EVGA will have them available and not back-ordered for the step-up program. That is all that is holding me back right now. Thanks.
