the good news and the bad news

i prefer bad news first.

the Nvidia 8800 is not coming today. probably have to wait till after NS.

good news.

the card is a Nvidia 8800 GTX. oh it gets better, im gonna get 2 of them!! get two of them and i can link them together in SLI! COOL!!!

again, this thing is a major energy eater. a single card takes in bout 200 watts while idle and 330 watts on load. i only got a Cooler Master 500W power supply.. which isnt quite enough to run both of these things. so, im also gonna get a 1000W PSU!!!

and it keeps coming. im also gonna get a pair of corsair DDR2 Rams... which variant n details im still not sure but it beats nothing at all

to cap this off... im also gonna get a Asus mainboard. this time its a board similar to the Asus Striker series but without the fancy feature to make this just a notch below the Asus Striker in terms of performance.

wow....

oh, and TuneUp Utilities 2011's defragmenter suck...
