When you Googled the cards, what did you come up with?

Definitely call them as far as the parts.

I will call them about the parts but what I know about video cards is not
much.I am not a gamer but the 7900 GS seems like a very solid card.I know
that the one game I play came in clear and crisp.I don`t play Doom ....Just
wanted someones opinion before Tom`s Hardware confused me...Peace and thanks
for replying...Harry

*****. A lot.

The 8600GT is a very fast DX10 card. The 7900GS is a moderately fast
DX9 card. They need to send you the 8600GT and the other missing parts.
