AIW Radeon - Buy or Wait?

[DugnDog]

Planning to upgrade my video card soon (probably the AIW Radeon).

Are prices likely to drop in Jan/Feb? Or should I grab the Buy.com price (approx $212) before the $30 off $150 coupon expires today?

Any opinions?


FYI, In case it matters...
System is for work & play.

What are your system specs? What are you wanting to do? I've had some frustration with the Radeon, if I can get it to run as stable as my TNT2 did it will be well worth it.

Don't think you gonna see those kinda savings come jan.

Wetsprocket, this will be my home office machine.

Will use for family financial records, etc.
Want to use the TV feature so I don't have to find room to squeeze a TV in here.
Likely some web development & other business activity
Also will use it for hands-on experience with new technologies (I'm in the industry so this is important to me)

Game-wise I'm more interested strategy, visuals, and good story lines, versus shooters
I'll likely do some moderate OC'ing of the mobo but not the graphics card.

I'm building a new machine and I have a cheapo PCI graphics card to use during setup. My old machine is still working so I could wait a month for a better price. Not worth waiting to save ten bucks. Certainly NOT worth waiting to pay more.

hope you have the proper wiring. that is for the tv tuner.
