(sigh) I *might* just do this. I stand to get a GOOD amount of money from eBay auctions soon and they'd just about cover this horrifically overpriced piece of silicon...wait. Wait - on second thought, screw it - I've got a GF3, hell, TWO GF3s (one Ti200) with a Chrome Orb and soon-to-be-installed (tomorrow) Tin Plated RAMSinks that works without a hitch on my system NOW.
Enjoy your GF4s - I'll just sink the 500 bucks or so I plan on getting into a savings account and not touch it for another year (woo, a whole 15 bucks!!!) - when I expect to get a ClawHammer DP system - by then graphics cards should be packing 256MB of something OTHER than DDR (QDR or DDR-II) on an AGP 8X bus with 2GB or more of whatever is the std. RAM speed then.
I wish you bleeding edgers luck with your new cards - I'm still gonna see if I can't choke a Ti4400 out of Gateway through sheer harassment over the next two months, though.
