Have you considered having 2 nvidia cards and then using 4 monitors instead of 3? Sure it'll cost more , but then again if sticking with 3 monitors means lowering gaing performance because of the matrox cards then i would definitely opt for either a 2 or 4 display solution.

So any one putting some stock in that vague Nostradamus prediction which states that Spain will win the 2006 world cup? Just saw the prediction on ESPN , yet couldnt find it on the web. Anyone know about it?

<bs> Your still stuck back in 2001 i see or maybe even further back. No wonder this region hasnt seen any end to violence , with people like you to support Laden and company. Way to go quoting SOMEONES opinion on the verses .

In what sense? If you've been around since the WTC incident i think plenty has been said and done on that subject in the mainstream media in all forms of it paper/tv/net etc. For someone whose kept up with the news and events this should be quite clear.

nvm.

Drogba is a sissy and whining little ..... .

What?! That referee had a very good match, he (and his team) was correct in the most important and the most decisions. The Italians were too defensive in the 2nd half, nobody knows why, they played 3/4 against 1/2 in defense and 6/5 against 8/7 in the US half... Are you sure you saw the same match? The refeering was abysmal , he got the red cards against the US all wrong. Then the linesman were crap calling offisdes when they werent and not calling when they truly were ... wtf is that??? I expect better officiating in a tournament of such calibure but so far i've been totally disappointed. with all the gadegtry around you'd think the refeeres are better informed but nooo .

Now the US have got some whiff of a chance , lets see if they show some grit and hunger in their game against italy. The Czech defense was poor and that guy who got sent off was a total idiot. He let the first goal in becauseof his foolhardy antics in intercepting the ball and then gave away the penalty and got the red card .

I predicted a 4-1 for CZ and that's gonna happen! Right now CZ isn't really close to score a goal, but it'll happen in the 2nd half! Hehe i doubt a 4-1 will happen but who knows , they might drink some Gatorade and score 4 (atleast thats the way it goes in the tv ads ).

Hmm Ghana are frustrating the Czechs for now. Admittedly full credit to ghana they have been playing well. 1 - 0 going in to halftime. If the czechs lose then this could be good for the US.

Or maybe its just Placebo's going on another vacation . Seriously though i also think the announcement is probably about them finding a publisher. Still if its what i said initially , boy would that burn people up .

Does your PC have integrated graphics? Or do you have a second computer or friend from which you can get another card for the meantime? Leave that card alone, running it without a proper fan will kill the card (and the warranty   ) and using a desk fan to cool a graphics card is a rather bad idea  Nah no integrated Gfx im afraid. But i do have another card a spare 440 MX but its good for nothing , though at one time it did serve me loyally and played HL2 too . I guess i'll use that instead , since theres no alternative except getting an after market fan.

Yes i know thats the best option for now but as i said i cant do it for the time being. Its becasue the card is under warranty and i will have it replaced , the thing is though i bought it from somewhere else (another city here) , and i wont be going there for sometime (a week or two maybe) therefore i was looking for some sort of interim solution.

Halftime: Holland 2 - 1 Cote D`voir Well the dutch have shown good offensive skills but not up to par to what argentina showed. And the dutch defense is lacking somewhat , they look shaky. Absence of Edgar davids and Jaap Stam i guess just showing up.

SIX - ZERO OWNAGE! Holland better watch out.

3-0 I want a Spain vs Argentina Final now . The way they are finishing the moves inside the box (one of the major difference here b/w them and any other good team) the finesse and the exquisite passing , theres no stopping them. And consider this , that some of their best players still arent playing right now ... Messi and Aimar are on the bench.

Argentina are tearing apart Serbias defense at the moment. 2 - 0 to them. They way they are playing is very impressive and full of conviction. Like Spain they are looking one of the 'better' teams.

Ok i'm in need of some hardware advice again. As i said before my 6600Gt's fan broke , right now due to certain complications i cant return it and have it replaced and am notplanning on voiding my warranty by putting an aftermarket fan on it. I have a portable fan which i plan on running beside my case to cool the GPU , but the thing is whenever i run anygame it freezes the whole PC after 3-4 mins. Any idea why it does so? Also can i remove the plug which supplies electricity to the GPU fan ? Since the fan sint there anymore its just useless and for all i know could be behind the lockup after awhile? Thats my card and the wire there is the one i m talking about. I tried taking it out but its stuck firm , anyone care to tell me of its removable or not? And if so then how do i remove it is there a certain way or should i just pull hard. I didnt pull hard initially because i was afraid i might break it.

Damn are last minute goals the latest fashion for WC matches now? Sweden struck one goal in finally in the 89th minute , poor Paraguay out now. A draw would have made the final matches a LOT interesting.

God its like a replay of the Saudi Arabia Tunisia match. Deja vu . Poor Poland , this sucked. Their keeper really worked hard he made some incredible saved. A man down they were working hard , and to get a goal in the 92nd minute .... oh cruel fate .

Exactly the scoreline i had in mind aswell . Oh well gotta move on , ukraine needs to be beaten if we have to go to the next round and heres to hoping that their moral will be low considering the thrashing Spain gave them. As for the Germany Poland match i think germans might lose this one. They are getting frustrated and not converting the chances to scores IN to scores. I say 1-0 or maybe 1-1.

A card with a such a price must come with some sort of warranty? Unless its been made void by replacing the fan and maybe its overdue its limited warranty period?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo That bloody last minute goal ruined the whole match. It sucks to lose a match in injury time . But then again the defense is to be blamed leaving the tunisian guy all open even though they should have been marking him. That was simply a goal stolen at the last minute .

They do! @Placebo: And what does that mean? The only thing babelfish translates correctly is Operation Flashpoin... OMG yessssss 4 - 0 Ukraine is being owned.

Spain vs Ukraine on now. I hope Spain wins and beats ukraine convincingly.
