Its probably the ram thats taken a dive Sad

Not to worry that given you the perfect excuse to get an awsome card! Get the 'Coolbits' overclock tweek (With seom 6800GT's it comes with it) and clock your card up to 6800Ultra speeds 400/1100 then off you go!

You are not going to be dissapointed 8) I have my ultra running at 435/1200 at the moment and it plays all my games superbly. It just munches anything I can throw at it.

AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB&&MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset&&1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2 &&XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200&&80gig HDD&&Loadsa fans!!!

Spoke to Dell XPS Tech Service, and must admit they did a great job. It is my card, so they are sending me a new one, which of course I will be putting in my old computer, so I can install the new one when it arrives into my XPS Grin
