Lesson Learned!

Hey all,

 

Well after recieving the 6600GT AGP version for my birthday from my "not-so-tech-savy" parents, and now im building a new system and finding that I cant stand this AGP block, from making me move into PCI-E, well, i finally realized my card is the eVGA card, and is elligible for step-up program! yipee! i can step up to a card of a higher price level and just pay the difference, so I dont lose the value of my card!!

 

So ya, my mom is always nagging me to through my boxes out or stash them away etc. So i usually say okay fine, then i store my boxes away etc. BUT! This time i seemed to misplace every part from my 6600GT, manual, cd, connectors, etc were all over the place!

 

It took me 4 hours of scouring through my messy room, and all pc boxes to find all the parts, BUT I FINALLY FOUND IT!

 

Lesson: always keep your purchases in order, and organize them!

 

meh.. but now im happy ! 6800GT PCI-E!! here i come!

Good stuff. So I guess you're moving up to a nF4 mobo, eh? Best price in TO, bar none: http://www.canadasys.com/part.htm#mb11

 

You can return broken stuff for 7 days, and they will do RMA's for one year. Cash only, they have stripped away all frills to get their prices this low :P

Like a pack rat I save all of my boxes. They each have a date label on them that shows the expiration of the warranty. Every few months I cull the heard and let the dogs shred them a bit before I have a nice bonfire in the back yard.

Shibby, is that Upper Canuckistan, Lower Canuckistan, Eastern Canuckistan, or Western Canuckistan? :) I have relatives in Central Canuckistan.

 

They are into Ice Fishing, Hockey, and Drinking. :D

They fight like demons when doing any of the three.

I am from central Canuckistan originally, south-eastern Manitoba to be exact. Your relatives sound suspiciously like mine, perhaps we are distant relatives :P

 

Where in central Canuckistan are they from?

 

I've since moved on and am currently living in the center of the universe (gotta be Canuckistani to get that one).

 

@Fight-Game: step-up program is only for the first three months after you bought the vc, there's info on the eVGA site on getting hooked up with a new card.
