I bought one on Wednesday...they had them instock, and didn't advertise until Friday. $99.00 and change.
anyways, i was there Friday, before lunch, and they had 6 left. I went to lunch, had nothing to do , went back to Fry's, and all were gone.
Must have been a popular item during the lunch run for many geeks.
by the way, I benchmarked this card...
3Dmark2001SE
7443 w/ included drivers (but I had stability issues not during the benchmarking, but doing other things)
7420 w/ ATI's newest driver's released on 8/1/02, but runs more stable.
FYI: I'm running 1700+ XP, Asus K7V266-E, 256Mb Ram, IBM GXP120 60Gb harddrive.
Both those scores on the Radeon 8500LE beat out my Geforce3 Ti500 card. Can you believe that for $99.00?
