Default great get
Congrats! I love stories like this where there is a happy error.

That might be a card worth not using on the step-up.
I recently picked up a NCIX special 260 too as I got tired of waiting for the 55nm ghostware version.

Those 260's really are great Cards...the one I had awhile ago was unreal..out of the box into the Rig and within minutes I was running it at 725 / 1450 / 1200 without any effort at all....playing Crysis with the Fan at 75% it maxed out at 66c! And that was a 192 Shaders model!

I plan on doing SLI in the near future, and the 280sli option was a tad out of my range.... so, making concessions.... downgrade for now.... until i get i7 :D

Yep, since this is a Core 216, it'll be going to Mattlef.

It's not a question of "if", but of "when".
