1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future? Yes, 1x OCZ Vertex 3 120GB, 2x OCZ Vertex 2 120GBs (mirrored in a Database server) and 1x Transcend 32GB PATA I'm not sure; I just upgraded...

nope; I spoke too soon... Turns out despite the tech's assurances that they were the same card, the new card is a Quadro NVS 510M That's a disappointment; I tried to play a quick game (HL2) on it and it feels a lot slower.. Guess...

Apparently they do have some 7950gtx's lying around; I'm back in business! yay!

It is a sad day.... but my video card completely out of the blue today died--bsod, and then the corrupt lines. Ironically, I haven't been playing games on it for a while (my g/f has been using it for web development) and just this...
