    8800? Price: £528.74 including VAT

    Alright, so that’s the watercooled one, but even so… 😯

    Seriously though La Perla do some very nice ladies underwear that’d be right up your street for about the same money. It’s expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    I paid less than £400 for mine and it rocks. Faster than my Dual 7800GTX SLi setup.

    Runs very hot though

    I did a lot of research specing up my new computer – the latest cards just aint worht it… check out fram rate comparisons and see how many FPS you get for your extra 200 quid!

    The early adaptors always get screwed – just behind the cutting edge is where you want to be 😀

    Heh yeah I agree doc, and if you havent got bags of money to spend

    I have just managed to sell the GF6800GT PCI-E I had that I couldnt use and I am selling my Radeon 9800Pro that I am using to get one of the new ATi Cards just come out.

    Its a X1950Pro 512MB AGP 🙂 and works in my P4 system. Looks like its the fastest AGP card ever made so far and best thing is unlike the Nvidia one the AGP version is not cut down from the PCI-E version, its the same spec which is excellent.

    Read some reviews and comparisions and the PCI-E version gets a couple more FPS (e.g PCI-E 63fps and AGP 60.8fps) so not bad in all.

    Plus this card is only £150 inc vat or $210 if I can find someone in usa to sell to UK 🙂

    So reckon i am going to buy that end of this month, but loads of people are buying them lol, so may prove difficult to get one.

    Very nice indeed Doc, although everybody knows that PC’s with lights, illuminated fans and UV cables perform much better than ‘regular’ PC’s.
