Oh, I wasn't being defensive at all. I did my research and I know I have the best card right now with a single card set up. I was more expressing frustration with how the industry puts so much emphasis on miniscule differences in benchmark tests between comparable cards. In a real world situation, nVidia and ATi's cards are pretty much the same, yet there is so much pressure to say that one or the other dominates the technology. Thats what I'm frustrated at, because I had to do a lot of research to get passed all the propoganda and crap.

Strangler, give us impressions of your new PC. I presume it's arrived. We're all excited to hear how smokin' fast you're blazing through games and other applications. Has it met your expectations or surpassed them?

I'll let you know tomorrow when I unpack and set it up. I'm moving into my GF's house tomorrow and I had it delivered there, so I have yet to realize it's brilliance. I will let you know how it is as soon as I can get my flthy paws on it and test it out. Cross your fingers...

Well it turns out the delivery wasn't for my PC, but was instead some medication for my GF's father. I double checked with CP and they told me they are backordered, but they refunded my Rush Order, so I'm not all that pissed. I'm expecting it some time this week. I'll let you know when it comes in.
