Im in the process of hunting down the best prices for a new rig, and have found that the 8800 gts 640mb that i want is much cheaper from USA or Canada, even with the postage.
Anyway, the question is, will the card be any different as its from across the pond, obviously not phisically by on things like warenty etc?

Just check the warranty info and make sure the manufacturer provides support in your area.

you can get a stock evga 8800gts 640mb for £180 inc postage if you look hard enough, and not stupid 6 weeks postage, decent USPS Priority, which takes about 5 days

I couldnt find any info on the site either, stuck it in google and found a link to CNET where it says that they dont, scroll down to "Store Policies", then under "Delivery Methods" international shipping isnt ticked

Its a a shame that these sites dont make it nice and clear
