2.6Ghz and that resolution sounds quite promising. Although the GTX is suited for higher resolution gaming with the X2 3870 being the best. I think the GTX and X2 3870 will be better for 1920x1200 although I'm a bit cloudy on the GTS's performance at this resolution. The GT wouldn't be advised for that resolution.

So is this the card you got:

If so then getting an 8800GT with the S1 cooler is indeed a very very good deal, one that I would jump at if I knew it was the card I'd also get....

GT's in SLI would be better yes.
For what it's worth, I ordered this card yesterday and it's just been delivered. Mine turns out to be a Zotac. A general Google around seems to suggest that Zotac do two versions; an 'AMP!' version (which seems to be overclocked to 700MHz) and an ordinary version. I got the 'ordinary' version clocked at 660MHz.
I won't be able to test its overclockability for a while but I hope that Zotac don't have a policy of simply creating 'AMP!' versions with those cards that overclock well and then dumping the dross into the 'ordinary' version. We'll see!
There's a review here:
Interestingly, that review suggests that the product number is 'ZT-88TES2P-FSP' but the one I got from Overclockers has a product number of 'ZT-88TES3P-FSP'. The review suggests that the card 'Lacks HDMI output' but the card I have comes with a DVI to HDMI adapter. The blurb on the box is also different i.e. to that effect.

Yup that's the one
Was very suprised that it came already installed, saves me having to do it myself.Having not used the S1 before i am a bit concerned at the amount of heat its going to give off (up to 85 in some reviews), but at least there are two optional fans included.
