“Is that a turbine cooler or is it just a part of your graphics card?”

Hello everyone this is my blog about video cards and other tech stuff I find interesting and my journey into getting a spanking brand new NVidia GeForce 9600GT for my existing gaming rig to squeeze out some more FPS than my ageing 7900GS. I’ll be giving a lotta info about my thoughts about the new GeForce 9600GT and of course the monster 9800GX2 which is due in the near future *drool*.
