What?
Radeon 7200 --> 8800GT
Best upgrade ever?
An upgrade of that magnitude might cause your eyes to bleed, be warned!

Any word on when the revised 8800GTS is coming out? I'm hoping its just a simple BIOS flash for me to unlock the 16 pipes, but I highly doubt it They've probably been cut at the factory

They may already be out!
Check this link.
It shows 96+SP instead of just 96, and it is priced lower than the current crop of 640's. It just came out yesterday as well.

That's 05, not 06.
Show us 06 scores if you don't mind.
Give us some OC results as well...please!

Very nice.... man... I sure hope I can just simply flash the BIOS of my current GTS, but I doubt it. I've heard the new 8800GTS is going to based on the G92 core

It's priced lower because eVGA has to clear out their old stock before the new GTS gets released. And if it actually had more than 96 shader units enabled, I think they'd indicate exactly how many. I believe it's just an overclocked version of the existing GTS with a new model number.

Even if the new GTS were still based on G80 (it's not), you wouldn't be able to flash it to improve performance because the SPs were laser cut to prevent people from enabling them and getting GTX/Ultra performance for free.

Check out the forum on NCIX. Make sure to read through the 2nd page. It can't be held to be the ultimate truth, but it does seem to indicate the new GTS is already here, and it is G80 based w/ unlocked SP's. NCIX has also update their site; it no longer shows G92 in the title.
If it was just an OC'd version of the same GTS then why do they have a "new" version of the vanilla?

Hold on a second, it turns out the confusion is all Nvidia's doing. They are producing new GTS cards with 112 shader units enabled, but their manufacturing partners are not allowed to market them indicating that they have 112 shaders. They can only be marketed as special editions or OC versions, thus the eVGA GTS SSC crap on NCIX.

Just replaced the stock fan with a HR-03. As you can see, there are two mounting options. One is the size of the 6-hole bracket, the other one (bigger) is the standard 4-hole mount. I used the smaller one. 8800GTS/GTX coolers will not work though, too big.
Temps:
37C Idle / 47C Load
(I think I put a little too much paste though...)
And now with the overclocking
