A lot of people don't like dealing with the bugs and quirks associated with sli/crossfire. You should sell that baby for 65 bucks and buy a 260 if you want Nvidia

Seems over the top for what I want to play. I think I'll go for the 260. Cause by the time it comes I can afford to upgrade, I'll probly be able to grab one pretty cheap.

You should be able to sell the 9600 very well too, as it is a great folding card. Although I'm not sure how the folding crowd is in your acceptable shipping area...

Check the Wanted/For Sale section and see if anyone is offering a higher end card for sale/trade that you can ship with? I'll check quick and post back, but give it an eye yourself.

Have a GPU or CPU that is sitting around that would be good for folding but you can't fold yourself for whatever reason? Or looking to adopt a component or full rig from someone that has one available? Check out my Adopt-a-Rig program and sign up!

Have an abit board that isn't working anymore and are sad that you can't RMA it? Dont' be sad, abit is still honoring RMAs! I know, I know, I was surprised too!

Don't have enough rep for that sort of thing.
