Yup.  Both NewEgg and Amazon ship amazingly fast with the cheaper
shipping.  I want to pick it up myself though, because I'm hoping to
slap this in and get it working before company comes over on Wednesday,
which is too soon to get it mail order without expensive shipping.  And
I like supporting Microcenter.  Newegg and Amazon don't need my help.

Well, this is for an AGP 8X motherboard, so anything I get is gonna be
old.  But something else this is going to buy me I didn't consider
before is I can use DVI out on one of these cards.  Right now I'm using
the DB15 VGA port.
