    Potential "n00b" *shudder* question alert:

    I'm thinking about upgrading my D901C to SLI pretty soon and I recently opened up my notebook and noticed a few things. If I were to buy one, would it come the respective fan, heatsink and SLI connecter?

    Thx.

    When I received the 2nd VGA from PCMW, it had the video card, heat sink, fan, SLI cable, extra screws and a USB thumbdrive with bios updates and drivers.

    The install took about an hour (because I was really anal) and worked great.

    This guy. ABC News 20/20 co-anchor; also a contributor to The New York Sun, which, while not without its own faults, serves as an invaluable antidote to the poisonous propaganda penned by the NY Times under the rather misleading rubric of "all the news that's fit to print" - not by a country mile, in my opinion.

    I primarily picked the quote for its own terms, and I believe in giving credit where credit is due; as far as Mr. Stossel's overall oeuvre goes, I'm neither boosting nor detracting from his work.

    BTW: Sorry to hear about the passing of the venerable Mr. Carlin - I think we'll all miss ole potty-mouth (sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, as they say :D ) more than we think we will.

    You guys forgot that the second 8800M GTX comes with also a bag-load of driver issues and sometimes close to 100% boost in performance :D
