9800 GX2 only uses single core!, Only 11073 from 3DMark

PCI-E 1.1 really isn't that bad, few graphics cards really need that extra bandwith of PCI-E 2, though the GX2 might like it.

Congratulations on your new card, enjoy!

P.S. The moral of this story: Don't buy Dell.

Well, I must write one positive thing on this company. System of sharing new drivers and updates. I just entered TAG code from computer and I had them nice sorted in the menu.

And practically after update of ....card reader, icons in root folder changed, there are better, and it works. I had a problem with SD reader, now it works fine. That's positive. And you don't need even to have extended costumer support service.
