Non-denominational winter festivities? 

It's called Christmas. 

Either stop celebrating it or call it what it always has been called. 

Christians don't deserve this kind of persecution and exclusion.

Again...

So if the 8800GT is living on the edge at its clock speed, I wonder if people might have overheating problems with SLI, as you'd have the top card venting its heat onto the card underneath it. 

Even so, I still really want a GT when I've got the cash, too many good games coming out that need a new card!

Not sure I want a 8800GT anymore in my little Shuttle. I'm interested in the 3870 which is supposedly dual slot. It all depends on what NVIDIA are going to do with their GTS replacement.


I recently purchased a 8800gt and have had it shut my machine off on me twice in games due to overheating issues (whats with the fan it never seems to get any faster while entering 3d)
i dont know what thermal tests they did do or they picked really performance cases with a lot of air cooling, but i can see the average joe having a lot of problems in his case with there idea of thermal testing :(.
