There was one review where the thing kept locking up due to heat...can't imagine why that would be

If you have eVGA they are offering an extension for their step-up if you get the 9800gx2. Instead of the standard 90days, they are extending it to 120days. In case you are just outside the step-up range...

So, the oc3d guys have released the review of the ASUS card. I noticed that they compared it with a tri-SLI 8800 Ultra setup. This, of course, made me wonder what a tri-SLI 9800 GX2 benchmark would look like. Would the power grid for the reviewer's state go offline? Would time itself cease and fold in on itself as the GPUs pushed pixels to the screen faster than the electrons in the cable could handle? Would the monitor blow up? These and other questions remain to be answered!

So one of you reviewers here better get a tri-SLI 9800GX2 working (tell the retailers you're justborrowing the cards!).

Apparently Nvidia isn't on MS's Christmas list;

I must admit that I have not noticed any troubles with my new 8800GT and Vista 64. I've actually got vista 64 on my laptop and main desktop now. The 8800GT Rocks DDO at 1680x1050 and everything on high Razz

Yea, no issues with Vista 32 or Vista 64 on any of my nVidia cards...
