J. Dzhugashvili writes "What would you say to a video card that performs like a $400 GeForce 8800 GTS for $200-250? Say hello to the GeForce 8800 GT. The Tech Report has tested the new mid-range wonder in Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, Team Fortress 2, and BioShock. It found that the card keeps up with its $400 big brother overall while drawing significantly less power and — here's the kicker — generating slightly less noise."

    The hobbyist ($200) stuff is for those that want to enjoy the sport,...

    Sport?!? LOL!

    Soooo, how do folks train for this 'sport'? Is there any weights involved? What about overtrain? If you overtrain, how much rest do you need?

    Diet: Doritoes, potato chips, McDonalds, Pizza...

    Energy drinks: Coke, Pepsi, beer?

    God! That killed me! "Sport"!
