More than a year of pre-planning.....
More than six months of planning to buy it.....
About three months of delibrating in deciding upon it.....
About a month and a half of purchase planning.....
About a fortnight of the after purchase wait.....
And then on 15th July, 2006, I finally got it, My Precioussss.....
The Gainward Bliss 7900GTX, based on the nVidia G71 7th Generation GPU, all 278 million transistors of 90nm silicon goodness at 650MHz core speed, all 512 Megabytes of GDDR3 memory at 1600MHz effective speed. I'm Lovin it :D.
