    X850 availability

    If an XT is what I'd been waiting for, that would have been true. What do you think of my current video card? Oh, you DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS! Hey guys, this is fun, but I'm going to get some sleep. Big day tomorrow.

    X850 availability

    The impication is that I have been looking around with my eyes closed. In fact, searching for the retailer that has a card in stock, and is selling it for around MSRP, is a crap shoot. They come up here and there, in dribs and drabs. As fast as they appear, they are snatched up. Its not for...

    X850 availability

    Actually, it is. I don't think I'm cheap, and I know I'm not poor. I'll be getting a card when I can get a PE at or around MSRP. While I'm waiting I can take pleasure in the knowledge that although I make typos, at leat I can spell.

    X850 availability

    You know, Ackmed, the cards have been available all along, at high prices, from a few vendors. NewEgg was out of stock of most cards just a few days ago. The situation is changing, as I alluded to in my post. They are still not widely available, and are still priced high. You could have...

    X850 availability

    Had an interesting conversation with a retailer/etailer about ATI's *p* poor record of delivery of their high end cards. HE CLAIMS that ATI, although the 'manufacture' in Canada, have sub-assembly sites that were moved into the middle of the Indian Ocean by big waves. The message was that as...

    Is $300 a good price for the new X800 XT All in Wonder??

    Anyway Mackie; I guess you've gotten the idea, Everyone here thinks its a good deal. If you have the $300, and you want the AIW parts ( video inputs ) its great. You won't see much difference in performance between it and your 6800 GT. If you look around you'll see: 1. This card is about...

    ASUS A8N SLI DELUXE - PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

    Sho; I had to wait until the sugerplums stopped dancing in my son's head to get the MoBo out of his room. Its a revision 1.02 board. Where was the thread about rev 1.03 board?:confused: ( The revision number is printed on the mobo, near the PCI-E slots right where the "A8N-SLI DELUXE".)
