Just cancelled my order with dabs for a gigabyte x800xtpe. Gone for a
leadtek 6800GT. For mortals like me with a radio mast, (lots of noise on the
line no fat pipe,) at the bottom, of the road having a 40mb driver download
is a none starter. We will meet again, I still love my soft modded 9500 to
bits might put her in a sff.

Very nice, isn't it? Now we have two companies with competitive cards
instead of one.

However, the difference is the 6800GT is *available*...
