Congo,

I am surprised at the feedback rating....... from the add I would have said "too good to be true".  Which ..... usually is.  ;)

If this is "up and up" ................that is beyond a fantastic deal.  3 hours to go and still cheap.  Maybe at the last minute it'll get bid up a lot.

Thanks for posting this.

best,

..................john

That's not too bad even for here. That's about $600 but they have been selling for close to $700. I'm still patiently waiting for the Geforce 6600 though. Only one more month.  ;)

There's also a new beta Forceware, 66.00. It gave me a 200 point boost in 3dMark01 but FS2004 studdered like mad with them. I'm going to downgrade to the 65s.  I think the 66s are ment for the Geforce 6600 and 6800s.

OK are you guys getting these off ow www.guru3d.com?

If so gimme a run down of which ones are working well and which aren't.  I dont wanna be installing/uninstalling drivers to much as I hate dirtying up my system.  Whats the best out at the moment you reckon?
