The bad thing is that the 9600gt is a tad slower than the suppose 8800gt that you thought you bought.

Congrats man! I didn't care whether it was legit or not, how some people on this forum acted towards you was rediculous and I hope that doesn't deter you from visiting more often! My humble apologies to you (as little as it's worth), but I do hope that all those disbelievers/nay-sayers can either swallow some pride and give you some props or apologize or just leave ya alone, so far this thread is much more positive than your last one! I'm glad that your situation is proven legit though and look forward to seeing you around the TPU forums!
