actually.... i just ordered a new video card too. 8800GTX.
should be here Friday at the latest, if not tomorrow. love Newegg and their thoughfullness of having a warehouse in Jersey.
and probably the main point we were trying to make about him waiting for an 8 Series card.... is DX10 support. yeah, the 7950GX2 may outperform the 8800GTS that has 320MB of memory..... but the 7950GX2 might possibly crawl in DX10 gaming if it'd even work in DX10 games.
Plus.... as everybody knows..... drivers for the 8-series cards aren't that great right now.... often making games not run quite right. but they're getting better.
