yeah ive got my 8600GT's at a comparable 850/1836/1700 and i can truley say they whip a stock GTS.....easy. not to mention a stock GTS wont clock as high either.

and FIY they pull JUST under 7k with my C2D, from memory it was 6957 points.

massive bang for buck when you consider the price and how long ago they were bought. not to mention overclocks on the core of about 50% across the ROPS and SP's. :D:D:D

its funny cos a GTS is 20% faster (core) than a GT and our GT's are 30%+ faster than a GTS core :D

gw scrizz :D:D

Shipping a package to Morocco costs around 8.5 eurocents per gram. The card alone is about 500 grams, so shipping it will cost you around 43 euros and it will take 15-20 days for the delivery of the package. That's expensive because the shipping the same package from the US to Macedonia costs around 22euros. It seems that we are lacking a competition here... I'll ask how much it will cost via DHL, but I don't believe it would be any cheaper.

You're welcome mate. ;)

I never thought about going in Morocco for the summer holiday, but if you can recommend me a good and not very expensive place with a beautiful beach I might visit it this summer and by the way, I can bring you some hardware. :D

haha yeah morocco is really great tourists destination . and it is really warm compared to Europe .

hmm well i live in the top northern part of morocco by the coast :) and we have very nice beaches . But they are not ready yet for tourists if you know what i mean there are no hotels nearby and such other things

if you want a very nice beach in morocco it has to be the one in AGADIR city its in the south part of morocco on the Atlantic ocean :) here is wiki's link and u can find other link aswell :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agadir

u can land here by plane in my city's airport and then take the bus to agadir . its that simple .

but hold on ,how much "not very expensive" you want it ;) and what time of year ur thinking about ?

PS : if u have an msn or xfire send it to me so it would much better to talk about this kind of details .

From what I know, the 2600xt doesn't need the support of extra power. So you should be good there
