Got the 8800GTS in the mail yesterday. Will make a nice upgrade in my brother's computer, coming from a Radeon x300 series generic card.

That's nothing. I got me a lawnmower box full of pieces of bubble wrap off of a local guy on Craigslist. Between that and my laser tube (bubble wrap and foam), I'm overpackaging for a while.

Well, when I plugged it in for testing, I realized 3 things:
1: It works, didn't pull a 6850 on me
2: There's a bug in the 550 with DVI where it always transmits at native resolutions, and it creates a black rectangle that is neither correct aspect ratio nor exact size
3: It beeps at you when you forget to plug in the 6-pin.
