Okay guys, well u know how when you start your comp it always says something about your graphics card before the actually HD and drive checking screen shows up (where it says "hit del to enter setup")? Well at that point mine says "Engineering Release - Not For Production Use". Now tell me is that what everyone elses says or did I somehow get shipped a pre-production GF3 Ti500?

Got a GC. Smash Bros., Star Wars, Luigi's Mansion and Monkey Ball. Monkey Ball and Smash Bros. are too cool! Great for playing with friends/family. Haven't tried SW or LM yet.
