Thanks for the help.

Don't cry.
Why would i cry. i have a 7800GTX. and have had it since they launched.. Ill be picking up a second soon.

Also be picking up the next gen when they come out. DX10 cards and what not.

I have zero envy of you. Its pathetic you ran those 6800s as long as you did. I pity you more than anything.
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

.. but you dont brag
If you drive a rusted out 1989 Honda Civic and I say, "Hey, I just got a new Mercedes C230". You might say I was bragging. But if I told the same thing to a guy who drives a 7 series BMW he'd probably say, "Nice car" and move on. Perception has alot to do with what one considers bragging.

i agree that saying youre getting a new (and coincidentally expensive) vidcard isnt bragging. however, saying that you can buy 3 computers just to smash them, is :)

Or it could be me making a just as ridiculous statement as the, I'm going to buy another 7800 and a DX10 card when they come out. Hey, lets all boast about things we haven’t done or are going to do. :icon27:

BTW, expensive is another one of those relative terms.
