The place-holder for the 9600XT was there, advertising a $199.99 price, but no boxes to be seen! Congrats to nVidia for delivering as promised

Maybe more people have already bought them instead of the 5700's?

Nope, they can't have been sold out as they are not available for sale yet.

According to ATi's online store, the 9600XT are sold out. Could they all be going to OEMs?

haha, 9600 Pro faster than a 9800 Pro, the clock speeds would have to be like 700 Core, 850 Memory...

Since the memory of the R9600 Pro is 128bits wide, to make it equivalent to a R9800Pro, which is 256bits wide, you'd need effectively 650Mhz * 2 = 1300Mhz memory clock.

every time someone pulls out a joke, someone whips out math to ruin the fun...

Or take it to S.L.A.C

Don't need one. The 5900 will leave the 5700U in the dust.

Yup, 5900's are $220 all over the place.

Because they are stupid and/or uninformed. How could you not get a 5900nu right now with the prices if you're looking for a video card in the ~$200 area.
