Do if I want to buy a video card soon, even though I was looking at the 9800 PRO, I should probably wait until November to make any decisions?

I was really hoping to get the 9800 All In Wonder card with the TV Tuner.

Do you think these new cards will come with a TV turner package available in the near future?

Not sure what a PCIE video card it, but I have the ASUS P4P800 Delux motherboard, if that helps you explain this more to me.

I was looking at a few merchants who sell the ATI 9800 AIW card.

Anyone have input on any of these stores?

http://www.adosystems.net/ati9800aiw.html

I also read in the reviews from PG that there were a LOT of driver related problems:

Think I would have the same problems? Is the only difference between the 9800 PRO and the AIW card that the AIW card has the TV Turner? So basically everything would be the same (it would act exactly the same) except I would have a tv turner in the AIW?

Well it's the 21st of September now and I don't see those x700's on any retailers websites (Newegg). Any idea when we'll start to see them for sale/ship? BTW, when are we going to see the first wave of 6600 GTs for sale online? I couldn't find those either, and I want to buy one of the "mid-range" cards before mid-october!

Yeah me too! I thought the 6600gt PCI-e cards would be out by now. I have all the parts for new box awaiting the video card. I even thought about buying a PCI-e 5900 just to get it going, but that would be a total waste. Being a non ATI fan I am going with the 6600gt if they are ever available. Any hints as to when??

October for PCIe (in good supply; i think they are "somewhat available" now)

November (for AGP's "launch")

that is the "projections" of several sites . . . . of course we were to expect the x800xt months ago.
