    Geforce FX short = ? (GFFX is...bleh!)

    Ok guys, whats going to be the short term for GeforceFX. GFFX just doesn't look right. GFX is used as graphics too much. I like NV30 personally. ;D

    Best Buy? For a video card? EGAD! That thought never even crossed my mind. Online ordering is the only way, accept no imitation.

    And then the different companies add their own extensions to the name.. so you end up with something like "Creative eXXtreem FX MAX 128+ Omega Nacho" and then the universe kills itself.

    Ick, this means they didn't use the name I submitted to them; The NippleTwister Deluxe 5000+ Platinum Edition Version 4.2

    Oh well.
