...and speaking of horsies and old reliables, guess what I got working away again this morning, Micro? That's right, the gtx460 you sent me.
It had survived that little splurge I went on to score the two higher-end cards, but then I had three, that's right, three old boxes all go within a month and it didn't survive all that, having a place to live that is. Got one of the boxes back this morning though, sheer stubbornness on my end, and in it went, I know it's the best of the 550ti and even the 465's that were in contention. Looks to be good for 20,000 ppd on the current WU's, and that's before I get serious about overclocking.
Thought you'd want to know.
