You have to remember how much diesel is being used in Iraq by the military, all that fuel is coming from stateside. There was a report a couple of years ago that it took 4 gallons to get 1 gallon to the frontline troops.

Only thing I can figure is the Tech support guy was assuming that because the 8800 is a power hog that the 9600 would use more power and would require a beefier psu. Thanks for the 1.0a compliance answer. Don't get me wrong, it is a solid board and I'll be putting mine in my mother in laws...
I did have that board, $$##@ thing drove me nuts. First one I got right when they came out and it cooked my A64 3K by setting the freq to 3Ghz(bios issue). that lasted about 4 months when the Nvidia network controller died(winxp went nuts till I disabled it in bios. used the second network...
I think its the MB that doesnt comply with the standard. When I got it the Nforce 4 chipset was brand new, and I had to rma the first board and cpu when the bios set the a64 3200 to over 3Ghz and fried it.
Decided I'm going to go with the MSI P7N Platinum, Intel E2600, OCZ Reaper HPC, and a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. All told came to 330 bucks, half of which is the mb. This will be my first Intel build since my P2-333 died way back when(got hooked on AMD). Thanks for the suggestions.
Ok, I bought a Asus EN9600GT for my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe to replace my 7900GS mainly because the price on the card and the rebate. It should work (Asus EN9600GT TOP and ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe)but for some reason unknown to man or machine they just won't cooperate. Mainly I'm looking for a solid MB...
I've confused tech support once again. I can sometimes get the mb to register the card, but only if I put the card in the second PCI-E slot, but if I do that it only runs in x1 mode which is kinda pointless. Was only able to get this far by flashing the bios to V1805. I'm starting to think...
yes, the 6 pin connector is plugged in. The support guy kept telling me that this card draws more power than the 8800 series, but the nvidia reference says 95 watts under load.
there is a bios update available, (Fixed Silicon 3114 RAID mode fail when using ASUS EN7950GX2 PCIE VGA Card.)
not...
I got this card to replace my 7900GS, mainly due to price compared to other cards. Removed old drivers, shut down, and swapped out cards. During post, I'm getting 1 long and 3 short beeps(asus tech support said that mobo is not detecting card).
