You must have read the article before the Inquirerererer crew decided to do a bit of fact checking and added the following to their story:

"* WE ARE informed that Sami used a Cascade Compressor system to cool the graphics card and this setup can actually run twenty four hours a day."
BTW-At lease you COULD overclock your own X800, where can I get an SLI rig to try? ;)

So what do you think will be the cheapest solution? An ATI card with a cooling system wich you can run at those speeds 24/7 or 2 Geforces in SLI... I'll pick the 2 Geforces...

umm I get 5500 score with just a athlon xp 2000+ running w/ ddr 333 with a 6800GT ... witha new system and a 6800 ultra 7000 would be EASILY obtainable without SLI
