Well after being told my original replacement x800 card had been lost by Royal Mail.Then my brand was out of stock so I could choose a different kind,which I did.Three of my choices mysteriously went out of stock.Finally we agreed on a galaxy glacier 6800 GT as a replacement.This was posted out yesterday by courier so I got it today.Opened it and to my suprise it was my original x800 box.I thought something fishy here.It was supposed to be lost by royal mail.Inside the box was a new x800 pro.I thought I was getting a gf6800 GT.Instead is a replacement x800 pro.BUT (my wife noticed this by asking what VIVO meant) instead of a plain x800 its a bloody VIVO.Great I thought I'm happy with that.It's also got the Samsung 1.6ns ram.After installing a arctic cooler rev 4 I've just ran mother nature test for 1 hour with the speeds of 522/562(xtpe speeds)with no problems whatsoever.So I'm well chuffed.Just have to work out how to flash a graphics card bios now so I can try it for a full blown x800 XTPE.Been waiting for this since 6th Sep.This just might have made it worth the wait.
