Dear Client

Just an update on your order. Unfortunately we found out this morning that our XFX shipment has been cancelled by the supplier (up until yesterday they where assuring us it was still arriving this week.) I apologise for the inconvenience and the repeated delays. We are also still waiting for stock of the Inno3d 8800GT 512mb (expected some time next week), however we do have the Chaintech 8800GT 512mb (standard clock speeds) in stock and ready to ship.

If you would like to change to the Chaintech cards, please email or call us. If you would like to stay with the XFX / Inno3d (we will offer you either as soon as they arrive), you can ignore this email.

I'm really sorry for the repeated delays on these orders. If at any time you would like a refund, please let us know. We are doing our best to source these cards from all of our contacts both locally and internationally, however as this is a world wide shortage starting with nVidia, we are battling to get reliable stock and information.

Regards

Need I say more?

Hey linskingdom, I have a new 3DMark06 score. I was finally able to get a stable %100 OC with my e2140 (3.2Ghz {although the vcore has to be set pretty high})!! My new 3DMark06 score is now 11,465... Not to shabby for a Vista system with a 65 dollar processor eh?

New Info
Score: 11,465
G.Idle: 49c
G.Load:79c

Score

Finally got mine on Monday, still been too busy to do anything with it except just look at Crysis and Bioshock briefly.
I guess I have to get Vista so I can use DX10.

Alrighty boys. I chose to go with the Chaintech. They'll be sending it to the courrier tomorrow. I will get it Friday morning.

And to boot. I'll be getting Crysis, Bioshock and COD4 tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy weekend. ^^

If I understand correctly, they are shipping it over night, I also already got the tracking number. This means I should get the card tomorrow morning.

woot!!!

I just ordered this MSI 8800gt off Newegg! (thanks to Bal3Wolf)

Only one in stock when I ordered....hope it's a good deal, it was $300...

too bad I can't use it until Christmas lol

Is MSI a good company? Should I worry? I was going to get an XFX but it sold out before I had enuf credit on the credit card...
