Is this basically pointless if used with a 100mbps router?

I received the 55nm version. Had to modify my Antec SOLO just a tad to get it to fit. This card is huge!

I bought this combo last week. Great motherboard but I got a C0 E8400. Not a huge deal though since it still overclocks to 3.6GHz on stock voltage. I haven't tried higher yet.

Nope, it's basically the same card as the 8800GT.

Great deal. EVGA is a great company too. I had to pull the trigger on this. Vista, here I come!

Great deal! I'm torn between this and the 9800GT w/ Crysis that is about $100 cheaper . . .

The 8800GT is a great replacement for a 7900GT. I'm considering following the same upgrade path. PNY video cards are usually just straight up reference design cards. Their warranty and support is supposed to be decent but no quite as good as EVGA.

Those are some good points, Bryan. Maybe I just should have taken the 8800 GTS but the way that they approached me really struck me wrong. "You can choose between something slower or pay us more money for something faster." I think a stand up company would have just sent the faster replacement...

LOL, yeah the performance of both the 7900 and 8600 look pretty bad on newer games. Right now, I mainly play Source engine games so the 7900 is definitely better for me. I'm going to push them some more for a 7900 series card but it's looking like I might have to give in and pay the $150 for...

Please link any of these current benchmarks. I cannot find any. Please also keep in mind that I run games at 1600x1050 with AA/AF enabled so I don't care if the 8600 GTS can keep pace at very low resolutions and/or without AA/AF. I've looked everywhere and found the 8600 GTS performing at 50-70%...

I just sent my defective XFX 7900 GT video card in for RMA. XFX said that they don't have any more of those cards in stock so my two options are to replace it with an 8600 GTS 256MB or pay $150 to upgrade to a 8800 GTS 320MB. The issue is that the 8600 GTS is hardly equivalent to my old 7900...

My w2207 appears to have a Samsung panel in it. The service menu says "MT220WW01-V1" which according to this thread means I have either a LTM220M1 or LM220M1 Samsung panel. PS - another thread discussing the hp w2207 panel "lottery"

You're hitting 60C non-overclocked and at stock voltage (1.35v)? That's way too hot. At 2.95Ghz and 1.45Vcore (100% CPU utilization on both cores) using a Freezer 64 Pro, my core temp was 60-65C. I felt /that/ was far too warm so I backed it down to 2.7GHz @ stock Vcore and it runs at 50-55C...

I received an Opteron 165 with the Toledo core. After a lot of struggling with the motherboard in my main system which would only hit a 275MHz bus speed, I moved over to my secondary system which has the same motherboard but was able to hit 320MHz bus speed. With ~1.450Vcore, I was able to...

That's true if you're building a whole new system. However, if you have an existing 939 system with a slow single core CPU, it makes a lot of sense to upgrade to dual core for $100 :)
