yeah. i don't either. i'm considering selling but i don't have nothing to fall back on.

if the cards didn't have serial numbers, you should say that you recieved 280m's instead lol. jk.

The config is attached to the service code and service tag....way too risky.

You want to sell to rebuy with 4870s?

No I haven't done one yet. I've been playing with different operating systems. The extra security in Windows 7 64bit is a bit of a pain when you're trying to tweak.

Did you take advantage of the Dell XPS backpack deal for $20? That thing will fit my Thinkpad and M17x at the same time.

Spent all morning trying to figure out why I couldn't load Vista 32bit on my system. Ends up being a bad drive. Always the last thing you check.
