Hard time deciding if I should buy the AIW 9800 PRO

[dailo]

I've been having a battle with myself if I should buy the AIW 9800 pro. I know CPU prices will be cut in the weeks to come, but I'm not sure if ATI will reduce the price of it's card anymore. I really want to buy the card, but I'm not sure if it's worth the price tag. Anyone have any clue if the price will go down any time soon? Otherwise I'm tempted on buying for 372 dollars. Thanks.

AIW prices change slowly only when another AIW card comes around... I suspect another card towards the end of the year, but other than that, the price will "probably" stay the same. Don't quote me on this though.

why don't you just get teh TV wonder for 100 bucks and then get a vid card, this way, you can keep changing vid card without having to sacrifice the tuner.

i didn't even know they had a tv wonder! thanks for the info, I think i'll get that and maybe the 9800 pro later.

AIW cards come down very slowly in price. Go ahead and buy now.
