That water cooled card looks nice!

Problem is, the white CPC fittings they're using will come apart easily if you knock them - juice inside the PC = bad!

I wonder if the GPU client will run on these for Folding@home?

[Big Whiskey]

the answer to that one is here

channels are slow in this neck of the woods
first one available here I'm getting one
I'll trick it to make it Fold if I have to, like I did with X1600 thought it was X1900 :)

Ah, thanks for the info BW,

Its a shame it still eats up so much interrupt CPU time also while using the GPU. I was hoping that they would do something about that, but it doesnt sound like they will soon. I might have to get one of these puppies also.

More Power to the engines Scotty !!

$400 US (about $450 CDN) for a HD2900XT. Not as expansive as I thought. The GeForce 8800GTX was about $800 CDN.

I should pick this up when I have the money. :) Will go great w/ my games since I'm using an old X700 Pro.

In the Netherlands there's a store that offers the sapphire HD2900XT at 335 euros or something. they're still in preorder though.
