Good Ol' Bookmarks. (S/O = sold out. I/S = in stock)

hahaha. That's made my day. Well at least you will be able to check for new arrivals easier than most people. =]

lol, yeah. All I have to do is press the "Open in all tabs" button and I can see which ones are "O/S or I/S", and around the evening each day (to give time for them to update their stock) I update there prices, availability, and take a screenshot to see the price fluctuations day to day.

Very 'neat'. But hey, you got what to go if you want to get one.

Hey guys. I finally took the plunge and ordered a 8800GT.
I'll only get it sometime after 15 November due to stock.

Not sure if this has been answered, I didn't read the whole thread.

My question is this. Will the Zalman VF-1000 and the Zalman ZM-RHS88 RAM heatsinks fit on the GT?

I'll check how the temperature is once I get it, but I might get the Zalman cooler if it's a bit too hot to my liking.

That would definitely work better. It would be nice to make it easier for people who have the money then and there, to make a good decision on a card based on good prices and information.

Great. xlastshotx, I will do this as soon as I update Barklight's owner's information.
