well, I just orders my 8600gt yesterday and I need to know the proper way to react when I get it. Should I jump around saying gibberish or should I be simpler and just start trash my place?

I need help so can you guys help me out, how did you react when you got your 8600, 8800(lucky bastard) or what ever?

P.S: don't know if this is the proper section so if you need to move it, please do.

How I reacted? Well considering how long ago it was and my general knowledge at the time I had someone put it in for me at the store so it was warranted on their dime. I was happy, but didn't act stupid, but it really opened some doors like DOOM and stuff.

Best reaction would be to place the graphics card in a package, go to the post office and ill pm you the address. Then send me it and thats how you would react.

Its just a graphics card dude, calm down.

my very first video card was a 4mb ati card! I think I used it to play DOOM!

Yeah, you never forget your first.

Mine was a Voodoo 3 PCI (16 mb, I think) . I was finally able to get my P1 100 mhz to run Quake (1). On a LAN no less.

My first graphics card is GeForce 7200 SE, sadly I obtained it 3 months ago

and it's still along way before I got my hands on 9600 GT

Although, the first time I got my graphics card I thought I've owned my entire family member, sadly, it's not true.
