Any idea on the All in Wonder Line from ATI?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I want to get a 9700AIW mid june for about or under $250... this would happen only if the R350 cores were also applied to another All In Wonder card to bring the 9700AIW down in price, otherwise I may have to get the 8500AIW which doesn't have full DX9 support... *sigh*

Any ideas what they're doing to the AIW line?

Well the 9700AIW has a r300 core. And I believe when the r350's are out, all the cards with a r300 core will take a nice price cut. Now, I don't know if the AIW will go down as much as a normal 9700pro, but it surly will drop. Which is perfect because I want an 9700AIW. I saw them at the computer swapmeet out here 2 weeks ago for 375, I bet come June it'll be around 300. the $250 you're looking at might be a tav bit low though

but who knows!

I believe the 9700AIW's MSRP has dropped from $449 to $399 in light of the 9700Pro's price cut from $399 to $299... I seriously doubt we'll see a $250 9700 AIW, because I'd doubt we'd see a refresh of the 9700 AIW to a 9800 AIW, you never know, it normally isn't like ATI to refresh their cores...
