great album for st paddie's day!

Good to know! I had two 4850s in crossfire but they never scaled well and in some cases like BFBC2 they were worse than a single card. But the 5870 should be a substantial improvement either way.

Deal is still alive, surprisingly. Just put in my order. I was on the fence for a long time between this and a 6870, but I'm not going to crossfire and I don't see anything else this powerful for $200. Should be a nice bump from my 4850 512mb! hehe

balderdash. i have an r1 and it plays crysis fine on medium settings. in fact it plays most games fine, newer games usually on medium settings. the only game i've come across that is just not playable even at lowest settings is battlefield bc2. what have i played on it? crysis warhead...

Cheers! They also have X&Y and Parachutes for $1.99.

just got my subscriber id, ordered on the 17th. my cc still hasn't been charged. it's looking like technet will honor any orders placed before they changed the terms, but they probably got swamped with new orders.

i ordered yesterday, too. so far just got the order submission confirmation, though it states an estimated delivery date of march 27. cc still hasn't been billed, so keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

It appears that the offer is now restricted to those with an MSDNAA account. The subscription link in the original post no longer works and the page for the discount now includes the following: 1) Log into your schools MSDNAA account. Look here to find your school. 2) Get your Unique...

if you have copies of your original submission, you can call the rebate department and they should give you a fax number for re-submissions. HP managed to lose my rebate but i still got my check within a week of faxing the documents.

got mine yesterday!
