If you were to buy the card at the $500 MSRP then bought all of that... it would be a little more expensive...

I bought one the other day for $584 from Newegg... And here is what it looks like... The card:

(And BTW... that's a Shuttle SN95G5... and yes... it can easily handle a card like that)

And the box:

Notice how the box says Platinum Edition?

When I plugged it in and setup the machine, this is what Windows recognized it as:

I'm trying to fix them... please hold on... my hosting is acting gay!

- EDIT - They're fixed... and work about half the time...

Also... to add to my argument...

It's an AGP card... MSI did not make a regular X800XT card for AGP

Hosting can not act 'gay'(Homosexual) because hosting(used as a noun here) is asexual, and has no sexual preference.


Get it?
