Okay so that is a minor upgrade from an 8800 GTX (and it annoys me that it only has 512 MB of ram).

No I am not getting a superclocked or any other such edition. I am just buying a 9800 GTX (which is really an overclocked 8800 GTS for double the money). So in that sense I am getting a superclocked 8800 GTS 2.0 edition.

OH well. The reason for this update is that this past saturday my 8800 GTX decided it would not function for more then 20 minutes before overheating. So I am currently using my old 7900 GT from my backup system. I would have suspected that flashing the bios caused this as well as the X-Fi's destruction. But I ruled that out as I have had some heat issues with this card a while back. And yes the sound has been much better since I got a PCI-E sound card and tossed the old one.

One thing I am looking forward to is that the 9800 GTX has the "physics" processor thing built in so I won't need my PPU anymore... Needed that for like 3 weeks for 1 game . Oh well since Nvidia owns Agiea now thy included that tech in the card.
