usually on the morning of the 25th.
Yes I had heard a rumour! Did you know the dutch celebrate their christmas on the 5th of December as Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) and he looks nothing like our comercial santa.
Again what did you get for Xmas? or Sinterklaas?
I'm getting a Blackberry Bold and some other stuff. Nothing WCG related, I'm afraid.
We Swiss (I need to put somewhere in my profile that I have a dual citizenship, it's getting ridiculous writing "we" in front of two nationalities) celebrate Samichlaus on the 6th of December too, it's a santa-like figure who has a helper with him who punishes all the kids who have been bad during the year.
Doesn't it annoy you that I'll get to open my presents before you? Actually wait, nevermind, you're 8 hours ahead of me anyways, we can synchronize our present opening.
Self-proclaimed and convincing.

No, because I have not yet seen a proper proof. I want scientific methodology and repeatable results.

Sorry I can't give you a direct answer, but I know the 7200 seems to be the shizit right now for a number of reasons.
If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be (besides where you are sitting at the moment)?

8800GTX, at about AU$800 or so.
Best value-for-money item you've bought (value for money can be entirely your opinion) for your PC?
