SkateZilla Skate Zilla HD Studios Veteran Registered: 11/24/04 Posts: 11928 Loc: Virginia Beach, VA	the only thing im skeptical about is the 3 slot design... otherwise I'll prolly be dropping my Tax return on a 7950 XFX, whether its the 800Mhz or 900Mhz version I'll have to see as the Overclocked is already sold out... Im sure I can OC the 800Mhz one to about 1Ghz though. _________________________ Skate Zilla William B.

aRareKindOfMonster Member Registered: 12/01/08 Posts: 1045	Have you tried Tigerdirect? Last time I checked, they had both XFXs in stock. Shipping was free. But I am not sure whether you'd have to pay sales tax or not.
