, so that Monday (Feb 02) I found a nice box on my porch that said EVGA on the side 
.I went and removed my old cards right away and installed them in a computer I put together with some old parts, Motherboard, CPU, RAM, and TV tuner card were all in my computer once before I upgraded them, my old PS3 hard drive (I had no other use for it
) and a new power supply that I bought because I didn't have any others, I then installed Windows 7 on it (which has media center) and hocked it up to my TV, so it's now my Media center PC so now I can pause record and rewind live TV.I then installed my new cards in my computer and they work great
I ran 3DMark06 to see what my benchmark was and here's the results:
Old GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 7800 KO: 5349 3DMarks
New GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 285 FTW: 15639 3DMarks
I also ran 3DMark Vantage on my system and here's the results:
3DMark Vantage results: EVGA GeForce GTX 285 FTW: P15410 3DMarks

Back to the graphic card, I launched Crysis ans let it pick the best settings, and it set them at "Very high"!!! that's much better than the "low" it gave to my old GPUs
In other news:
I've been extremely busy lately because of a show I've been doing at the music hall, it's "wizard of OZ", I'm doing lights, sound, and digital projection which involves recording 3 people and cutting out their heads to display as a video on a screen.
Also I created an image so large only my computer can open it, I've tried my moms computer, laptop, and dad's computer none of them can open it, the actual file size is 703 MB, and it's dimensions are 22358 x 3110. I'll try and post it later.
That's all folks
