    With ~3 wks left before the upgrade deal ends for ppl wanting to upgrade their
    926x's from lesser video cards to 8800gtx cards I'm wondering...
    For those who have already done this $900 upg of mobo and video card(s),

    1. Are you satisfied Yes/No?
    2. What video card(s) did the 8800gtx replace?
    3. Did it improve performance much (benchmarks preferably in 3dmark06 would be good here)?
    4. What OS are you using?
    thanks

    Sent it in and got a great [fast] turnaround. Unfortunately it had problems when it was returned. I don't get the feeling that this trip back is going to go as fast. A bit disappointed by this. In this poor business climate, our business focuses heavily on quality care and controls. I'm not so sure that the Computer Industry isn't more of a turn the crank Industry. I'll know more this week when it is returned [I hope]. If it isn't returned this week, then I'll share that warning also.
