I didn't need to play at max resolution. I played at 1280x1024 which was perfectly fine at the time, and I consider being able to fraps it at 30fps good enough to consider its ass handed to it considering how many people think you can't run it at Very High when they have no idea how to configure their machines. Crysis is a very boring game, though. I didn't play it too long before I got bored of Farcry1.1 and moved back on to UT3. By noise I meant containment, anyway. A lot of people seemed to whine about the 2900XT making noise but I never hear it. It's well-ventilated case but I can't hear anything coming from it.

lol, 1280x1024 is ass handed to it... If you can't hear anything coming from the inside of the case then your components are quiet, not your case. Unless you're willing to tell me the sound prevention features the Antec 900 has.. *cough*..

Eh. I dunno. It's quiet, that's what I care about. Now the cpu fan on that athlon 2500 xp... 1280x1024 was a perfectly acceptable resolution on a 21" CRT. Now that I'm using this newer monitor though I'd probably be trying my luck with 1900x1200 like I am with everything else.

RMA support said that an 8600GTS was being shipped. I wouldn't be hoping for a 8600GTS, if I were in that stage. I was hoping for anything else BUT an 8600GTS, lol. But 8600GTS is fine, I might volt mod it if I pick up a multimeter and circuitwriter pen, maybe not though.
