8600's are PCI express. I would recommend the 7600... that's what my old comp ran, and it still works great.

You do realize that's $110, then you'll wait a month to get the other $30 back via a rebate, which by the way, I've had mixed success with, yes?

Also, the state called... an anonymous tipster reported the "cigarette" and they're beginning to think your apology letter wasn't entirely truthful, and THAT Jon, hurts me.
