<div class="IPBDescription">Shipping Monday hopefully...</div>If you're looking for a 6800GT, <a href='http://www.gameve.com/gve/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=VC-XFX-025' target='_blank'>GameVE</a> has a few actually in stock. And they aren't price gouging either!


So hopefully it'll all turn out okay. They got a very high reseller rating and most of the people on HardOCP (who pointed me to this site) are trustworthy and whatnot. If not then I used my Capital One card w/ fraud protection... heh

[edit]
w00t, and I just got a 3.06ghz CPU too! Upgrading from a modest 2.4ghz. It was the fastest my mobo supported...

    Actually, it's slower than the x800s, which are very easy to find. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> I still have no idea why doomeh wanted to pay more for a slower card.

    Because ATI are sucky. I have an ATI mobilty card in this laptop and you cant update the drivers in it, so i'm stuck with them. Where as GForce drivers work for any bluddy card mobile or not. Top spec or not. They are also much better in the way they release nice screen savers and demo's and things like that which i like.

    I think you mean the x800 PRO as i've yet to see a single XT on shelf, as Doomeh knows.

    <a href='http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=property&DEPA=0' target='_blank'>Newegg</a> has some GTs coming in soon, too. I thought they had some in stock awhile ago.

    Pro and XT, oth are available off the shelf here in SoCal, at Fry's. The one within five blocks of my place has a good stock of both, though they've been selling well, apparently. ^_^

    And that's the older Mobility chips that can't use the unified drivers. Get something new... a Mobility 9600.. you'll be fine. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I've never seen a driver release give the performance gains needed to overtake Nvidia, however.

    That and ATI isn't known for their drivers, really...

    I think i should report this topic because the person who started it has too much money

    Fine im gonna spend money tomorrow.

    <a href='http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=8263' target='_blank'>HDD</a>

    The aim is to generally upgrade things. I need a new HDD because the one i have is make a dodgy noise, i think the bearings have gone. I also want to make it much quieter, and the noisyest thing is the HDD. I need lots of storage space too. Thoughts.

    Or you could use the Omega drivers. They worked wonders on my Mobility Radeon 9000.
