When they email you the final order confirmation, it should have the ship date.

I think he meant an order status:

Order status: Your Gateway order has been placed and is currently being processed. Your estimated arrival date is 06/10/2004.

You'll get it in the second email. The first email just confirms you placed the order. Just be patient

You spoke to a "real" person? Shame on you for using that dated technology. Anyhow did you get any information from the "real" person regarding, stock, delivery date, is this a bait deal?, etc. Thanks

Yeah I spoke to a woman named Marilyn who was VERY helpful. She said It should arrive in approximately one week. She said they have them in stock and will ship within 2-3 days. She also mentioned that i was the 3rd person that called in regarding this video card.

Might get this card after all by 6-10 that would be nice! Nice they have them in stock, I was worried they were preorders!

Wow I really hope this pulls through!

 

[cownipples]

Wow the video card has been talen off the website period, they either sold out or it was a misprint, I called a csr and they said my order was still in process and had no way of knowing if the card was in stock. I hope its because they sold out.

If it were sold out they might put Stock: 0, but the fact they yanked the page smells like misprint. Anyway, my credit card was charged (just checked out), so I'm hoping they will come through for those that got "in before the lock".

 

[R0CK3T]

I just spoke to their CSR and she said that my order was still in "process" and she wouldn't give me a definite yes or no if they had them in stock or when they will be shipping them, but my cc has been charged already. So, I hope they dont back out now. *crosses fingers, toes, eyes*

 

[CaptainPete]

Hmm...mine's still `order pending'.

I did place my order after the page was pulled though (I had one in my cart when they pulled it), so we'll see if it actually comes through.

Then again, the new Nvidia drivers are supposed to be out today...maybe once we see some new benchmark numbers for the 6800's I'll want to cancel this order anyway...

 

[tfontenot]

i really wanted a nVidia 6800 - the new drivers come out today that are supposed to improve performance by (up 2) 30% . . .

this is a myth......

 

[gshock888]

how the hell do you measure a general term "performance" by a specific amount "30%"

WTF.

 

[DMan007]

Called ATI and they haven't even started manufacturing the retail versions of the XT PE yet. Good luck to anyone that pulled the trigger on this one.

 

[SgtZulu]

Good luck to anyone still waiting for ATI to create a driver that works

I'm runing a 9700 Pro with the Catalyst 4.5 drivers and everything works great and is 100% stable. Same with the Radeon VE, Radeon LE, Radeon VIVO, and Radeon 8500 before it(I've also had a number of nvidia cards which were just as good, maybe I'm just lucky).

As for this deal, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole after reading the Reseller Ratings reviews. Good luck guys.

Maybe you need to shut up for awhile.

 

[Averox]

I'm also running a 9700 Pro w/ Cats 4.5 and no problems. My bro and friends run 9500s and they're just as fine off.

Well this suspense is killing me. Like anyone else who bit, we can only pray it's what we hoped for.

 

[Rob94hawk]

Woohoo! Got my 2nd email:

Order status: Your Gateway order has been placed and is currently being processed. Your estimated arrival date is 06/10/2004.

BAM!

How could ATI not have started manufacturing something that is being sold within the next two weeks?

Probably because the guy who posted it has ONE post and is just trying to stir things up a bit...Don't worry about him.

When did you call? 8 months ago?

by the way, having a post count of 1 doesn't give you much credibility.

Speaking from experience, Gateway has been a good retailer. They have a Gateway country store here in town and they do a lot of electronic business with plenty of satisfied customers, including myself. I just hope I get it on the stated date.
