Pros: WOW...This card is not only one of THE best cards out there currently, it kills the competition of every single other 8800gt released. Comes factory OC already and a WONDERFUL cooling system to allow much more OC safely. Now heres the part that really surprised me....I'm still on my prescott p4 2.8 ghz w/ht and I would have thought it will bottleneck like heck....apparently not as I ran the lost coast stress test (max settings, AA, 1280x1056 (monitor max), etc) and it lags little to none from the cpu side of things. Also....im on a stock Dell 305W PSU ....and it works perfectly which means it draws not quite as much power as I thought it would. Of course I still havent tried testing out UT3, Crysis, quake wars, etc, but expecting at least med-high (due to cpu limitations..till summer). GET this card before it sells out for good. Dont consider a 9 series (9600gt) as this kills it (in a way) for 30ish dollars more.
Cons: It doesn't print money????
Overall Review: p4 2.8 ghz prescott w/ht, 2x1gig ddr2 @ 533mhz dual channeled, 200 gb 56000 rpm WD hard drive, 80 gb 5600 rpm samsung HD, 8800gt OC, Sony DL dvd/cd +- recorder, cd drive, dell 305W PSU. Best card money can buy. PERIOD. Thanks MSI/newegg :D
