Congrats!

Thanks.

Nice, how are the temps on that 8800gs?

The temps are pretty good. At stock It usually idles at ~55c and it is about 77c running 3dmark. I didn't monitor the temps during that particular run but I was a a lan party and they had the ac turned way down so it was actually idling cooler than stock (~44c).

I want to know how far that thing can be OC'd, lol... 680 is decent.

Vista hurts your CPU score quite a bit. Server 08 solves this and of course XP does too.

How much was it for a legal key?

I wouldn't know :/

My pet monkey activated it for me.

Anyway you can download it for free from Microsoft and get 240 days trial. So if you just reinstall it every 240 days then you have a free OS

Here's a helpful site to give you a hand setting up Server 08. It comes standard as basically a barebones OS and this tells you how to add some of the helpful features. I think the only one I installed was superfetch.
