In case anyone is curious, this is the nuts and bolts of what XFX told me and what I mentioned to quasarsky. 1) All cards need to have the warranty activated 30 days after purchase to receive the double lifetime warranty. 2) Seeing that I said I never registered the cards, as it says in my little FS "blurb"...the double lifetime warranty doesn't apply to the cards. Now y'all know why I don't want to deal with warranty crap!

Whoa, dude! The last pictures you sent me were just filled with wires. I had no idea you were going eyefinity. I'm still yet to run an eyefinity setup. Keep me in the loop on how that goes. Kinda jealous I haven't done that yet.

@Roast - Did you get the card yet? I was curious if it got through customs already. I'm really curious how long it takes to get to the land of the Irish.
