    I read that Palit had an overstock of GPUs & needed a way to shift them but that there nVidia contract didn't allow them to be resold > buy another AIB.

    I had a Galaxy 6800GT & it was a nice card until it died but it was replaced by another Galaxy 6800GT with no problem by the vendor.

    My 8800GT is a Palit, nice cooler, not too loud, but a pain in the backside that i can't check the temperature of it.

    Got a Palit 9600gt coming tomorrow - never owned a Galaxy though.

    Will let you know about the Palit.

    (I hadn't heard of Palit before the 9xxx-gen nVidia's, I must admit. If they're buying Galaxy, hopefully they're a bona fide company, after all...)

    Well I certainly have heard of Gainward. Perhaps they're not so insignificant, after all.

    I ordered my Palit 9600gt (from Scan), and I got an "Xpert Vision" 9600gt, which I'm not too happy about. I'm still debating whether to have a moan. (Scan's site NOW says Palit/Xpert Vison, but it DIDN'T, at time of purchase.)

    I appreciate that - it's not just the "name", it's that the 9600gt I bought was "materially different" from the one advertised.

    I'd considered buying a cheapy projector in the coming months with HDMI. The 9600gt I "bought" had HDMI - the 9600gt I "received"... didn't. (It came with 2 DVI ports instead.) Probably, if I stop and think about it, I'm better off with dual DVI, for connectivity, but I still don't like the fact I'll need a HDMI-DVI (or vice versa) cable at some point in the system.

    Another cost (adapter not supplied), another chance for signal deterioration (in theory).

    Oh well.
