Next gen probably in Feb., and the GTS is faster.
More xpensive, tho....

The revised GTS does outperform the GT somewhat, though not by a large ammount, I have a feeling though that the GTX will be revised next and when that happens I'm personally going to step my EVGA up to that or something next gen if it falls within the 90 day window.
Talked to Dell customer support today. Said that they weren't getting any cards anytime soon. Only thing they had in stock was the PNY. So they'll process my refund tomorrow...knew I should have stuck with newegg...
Wack, will they substitute?
I had order for two 8800GTs , i am canceling now. And since Dell screw me up for 3 of my last 4 orders from them for more than 3K$ i am not planing to go anytime soon back.
Nice way to do business Mr. Michael Dell :)
Bought a BFG OC 8800gt off of ebay for $250 shipped. Will flash to the OC2 or SSC bios after slapping a zalman fatal1ty cooler that I also got on ebay ($24) on it. Couldn't justify $359 pretax/shipping on the MSI 512mb 8800gts @ clubit even though it comes with a 730mhz clock and probably overclocks to 800mhz...
I just spoke with a dhell agent yesterday named "christopher" (india) who said my order would ship today.
Then I got a call saying it was delayed until the 28th. That person transfered me (from india) to the home office where I was put on hold forever.
I eventually spoke with "christopher" again who gave me a definite maybe for the 28th. dhell service, or lack there of sucks.
are you guys not reading my posts?
This should be expected guys. I tried to warn you.
I've waited over 3 months for stuff that was supposed to ship out within 24 hours.
At the same time i've wated less than 3 days for stuff that was supposed to ship in 6+ weeks.
It is what it is... getting angry doesnt help.
I love the people that rant off about "how Dell lost them as a customer" until the next Geforce 9800GTX is 200 dollars cheaper than anywhere else... and magically they order from Dell again.
you wont ever find anything at dell that cheap
dell is consistantly ATLEAST 100 more than retail on their accessories.
thats fact like it or love it dell is NOT the place to be buying hardware
the 8800 GT for the cheap price was a mistake that is why it didnt last and was infact removed from the website.
Well they said I had to call them or log in to my order thing to continue with the order, which I did..........and now its cancelled.
This was my first and last order. Dell gave me a sex lesson...don't f with them.
just got a 8800gts 320mb from them after i cancel my order of the 2 msi's. i ordered 2 asus 8800gt's from them and ship date it 1/2/08 so i hope they have them by then but then again you just dont know. the 8800gts was order. the next dat it shipped and the day after i got it in the mail. so that was good. my corsair psu and a few other things were the same way as i got them right away. sometimes its good and some times it just plain sucks.
So I just got done with this HASSLE..........
They are going let me purchase the ASUS one, which is the only one in stock for the MSI price...Its 239 right now, once I then get it I would call back and get a 30 dollar "refund" to make it 207 and a discount on shipping as well.
Sound like a deal?
No kidding, if I get this deal I will be happy though, 8800 GT for 207?
the 2 asus 8800gt's shipped from dell today so i didnt have to wait long at all. there on there way so 8800gts 320 going back for refund hehe.
edit: they shipped yesterday there already in ohio so for sure i will have them monday woohoo. great service on this order for sure.
my MSI 8800GT is delayed yet again...wtf
I don't understand why you guys sound so surprised...it happens every single time they have a crazy good deal, and people have continuously warned you guys about ordering from them.
Order cancelled on 12/10/07 - no refund posted yet...
Never again Dell, never again...
