And how happy are you!?! Thoughts and comments pls 
I've had some memorable graphics cards, like the Voodoo2, Geforce2 and 9800pro. When I bought my GTX, I got the cheapest re-sellar branded model I could get at £400/€600. It turned out to be an Inno3D. I even had to buy a new psu. It was stupid and I new it
I had been away form home and PC gaming for over a year, I had money and needed a treat. Go figure 
It was probably the biggest step up from the previous gen I'd ever seen. The first time I actually saw full 16AF/8AA as a standard setting.
People were banging on about R600, and in fairness they were justified to believe that that would be better, given the extra dev time ATI had in the bag. But I had a gut feeling the 8800 performance had come as a bit of a suprise to everyone, including Nvidia's competitors. It was THAT good.
I never would have thought it would still be sitting in my rig over a year later, not to mention still pretty much top of the performance pile. In terms of usage-to-cost, it's the cheapest card I've ever had
My only beef is that video drivers have become a lot more of a hassle lately. They ain't great in that department. Every time a new title comes out, we need a new driver and a lot of control panel fiddling
All that needs to go in the bin asap.
With all that said, I think it's high time we had a new gen to play with. I hope that with all the time Nvidia have had we'll see a quality product to upgrade to in the Spring/Summer. Ironically, ATI might benefit from Nvidia's delay and give us a real competitor (or winner) to help keep the prices down.
