It's only a matter of hours until the Deep Impact spacecraft fires its projectile into the comet Tempel 1 at about 37,000km/h. Another article suggests the impact's results may be visible from Australia. The best viewing locations will be in the Pacific Ocean region, anywhere from the west coast of the United States to New Zealand. Viewers should bear in mind that light from the impact would take about 7.5 minutes to reach Earth. East-coasters might be able to catch a glimpse then?

PCWorld have an article listing their Top 10 PCIe video cards. Despite it being dated July 2005, it makes no mention of NVIDIA's 7800 GTX.. magazine lead-times are a wonderful thing. Still, you can compare a few previous models from NVIDIA and ATI.
