Congrats Karl it is with a "K", right?
I know you have been looking for a new one since you were a newb to this board. I have glad to see that a new one is finally on its way to you. Very Happy

just a word of advice though, use the Omega drivers!! They are so much easier to get along with than the Cat's.

Good Luck my friend on the Dark Continent

You sure there's enough power in Rwanda to handle that thing?

Might want to invest in a small generator..................

LMAO, we already have one

Thanks. It should be here on sunday next week. I have a friend here who has gone back to the US for easter so she said she would buy the card for me and bring it back here with her. She ordered it from newegg yesterday

Since I joined the forum I have moved country twice

so my rig has had to be put on hold most of the time. Now I finally have a bit of spare cash

ooooo were they heiroglyphics etched with a carving chisel?

...hmm...sounds like my 9200se, maybe they came from the same cave

No. Archeologists have recently discovered that the 9200SE show signs of European heritage. They are still uncertain of the exact date of existance and extinction.

It OCs nice on the core, 500 => 620
Mem sucks 810 => 850, artifacts at 860...
Still it sure beats the old card
