Lower prices are what I'm hoping for in a few months. The time of being out framed in CS is coming to an end my friend. Let the bodies hit the floor. YEah Baby!!!! I have another question for you, Merlin. After receiving my computer from Cyberpower, how can I check and make sure I got what I paid for??? Like the chip being a "full box chip"?

Hmm, well good question.... You could probably read the serial numbers off teh CPU, but that would require removing the heatsink and fan.....

Man, I hate putting that kind of money out and still not knowing what I'm really getting.
I'm not a big fan of "I's takes me chances". There has to be some way of checking my system to verify what's in it. Right???The Merlin

They are a reputable company and if they do screw you over then nag them SOB's till you get your bloody money back BBB and usually investigative reporters for News stations love going after that stuff

If you're looking for a good card to overclock and if you're brave, buy a 9500pro. With a little skill, you can turn it into a 9700pro or even better. On top of that, I wouldn't recomend the 9600 to most people. You can get a 9700 pro for under $200 now, and the 9800 pro is only $30 more than that.

I think they discontinued the 9500 Pro awhile ago
The 9800 Pro can be OC to 9800XT speeds using Powerstrip, and the nice thing about the 9600XT is that it comes with it's own OC tool

Hmm, maybe $500-600 USD
Thanks for the info on the OC. I'm not really into that state yet. I usually only do it when I'm stretching the usability of the system to get more life out of them as they get older.
You know how they say one dog year is seven human years? I suspect that one computer year is equivalent to 20 human years.
