~~craig588~~ · Dec 6, 2003, 03:59 PM

I just bought it from newegg, 330$. Its the saphire ultimate edition, so it comes with the zalman heaksink and fan preinsalled (The HS and fan go for 40$ alone)

It was the only one they had! its gone from the list already! I cant stop shaking I'm so excited!

Awesome dude......I buddy got one of those a few weeks ago.....although it didn't come with the fan......just the heat pipe Zalman...

~~craig588~~ · Dec 6, 2003, 04:21 PM

oh, maybe just the HS. Still, it means I wont need to install the zalman myself. (Thought I'll probably get annoyed with some factor of how sapphire installed it that I'll redo it myself) I'll be able to throw a 80MM tornado on there and be ready to go.

Man, get the hell outta the house. That's pretty sad. Upgrading from a 9800np to a 9800pro 256mb. It's barely an increase aside from memory size. Yet again... get outta the house, cuz if you get that excited over a video card that has marginally better performance then you ..... man. I dunno. It's sad.
