my x-mas was alright. did most of my shopping about a week before x-mas. Better than two years ago when i did all my shopping like two days before

New years was ok. The day after new years was better

eVGA is going good for me still. I'm coming up on my 90 day here in about a week or so. Methinks i'll be keeping the job, but not sure. hopefully i do, otherwise, i'm back to square one =\.
If all goes well, I'm planning on moving out and be on my own by the end of the year. Before i move out though, i plan on getting me a new car, thinking about a Scion TC or a 2001ish Honda Accord two door, upgrading my computer....again

that's awesome X-Rider, I'm glad to hear that everything is going good with you. You'll be happy to know that I'm still rocking an eVGA 6800 in my desktop.
I think my motherboard can run dual cards so I might be getting another one soon...
Sounds like you've got great plans ahead of you and I wish you luck with everything. Make sure you post pics when you get your car. I don't know why but I've got a softspot for TC's. I just think they're kinnda sporty and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

and for the gfx card upgrade, a single 7950GT will out perform a pair of 6800GTs by a significant margin

damn, I was hoping the dual 6800's could keep up with a 7900
Now I'm gonna have to give this some more thought....

YEAH, my laptop runs a 7900 and it's just frustrating to see it outperform my desktop.

lol. that's how it is. the only thing i don't like about lappys is that they are still run at 5400RPMs. Some of them are at 7200RPMs, but then, what's the point of a laptop aside from it being a desktop replacment

mine runs at 7200. I had to get a smaller HD to get the speed but I thought it was worth it since my desktop has plenty of spare room.
Damn, now I'm looking at that 7950 card. Oh, and a new tower...

well, whatever the case, the 8800 cards, even the the cheaper of the two, will outperform two of those 7950GTs that you are now considering

[QUOTE=Jedi54]DAMN!!! That's one crazy video card!
yes it is. that thing kicks everything's @$$ right now. One of the GTX cards will kick the butt of the previous gen flagship cards in SLI, the 7950 GX2.
Shoot, honestly, my employee discount sucks
. The price difference is only like $5 cheaper than what i would be paying on NewEgg
.
