[manko]

Radeon for $149 (or less - how low can you GO?!) at CompUSA

mix and price match deals...?

I think the bottom just fell out of the Radeon market. Wheeee!

 

[kindest]

damn I need waste my money on camera accesories not on video cards!

/me looks the other way

la la la

Is this deal dead? I only saw one at Gateway for $257, and it's OOS.

 

[Mustanggt]

now the link is working was not working before.

 

[GooberedUp]

<< yes this is dead or never was. >>



What? Looks alive to me. Except, the Vidcard is $1.00 more than in the first post. If that kills the deal, then I don't know . . .

I see they don't have it on their site this morning...I hope this deal goes through or I'll have to do the compusa thing in a week.

 

[audiophan]

its there and in stock!

can comeone tell me retail or oem?

 

[Gr8bone]

whoa you're right they're back! hot deal! They must be retail cuz I don't think gateway would go oem.


heh not hot deal! they raised the price a buck!

 

[Mustanggt]

prob be faster waiting for compusa deal.

 

[Spartacus]

Radeon sucks either way...

 

[audiophan]

not quite sure how gateway works soo...

can i get this deal at the gateway store near me, with discount and all? do gateway store even carry video cards in stock? i hate waiting

 

[cyberizer9]

Add this router to take it above $200 and some and get $20 Mail in Rebate -> DLink DI-704P
Final price $175 for Radeon 8500 + DLink 4 port router shipped.

 

[xenolith]

<< prob be faster waiting for compusa deal. >>



How? Wouldn't this deal be "faster" because this deal has an instant $50 coupon. You'd have to wait in the Compusa deal because it involves a $50 rebate.

 

[rauschee]

I've looked around. How does one get the $50 coupon?

 

[ogn]

Mine says it already shipped. Woohoo!

 

[audiophan]

there are coupon postings online

slickdeals.net is an example

 

[audiophan]

this deal kept popping up so i finally broke down, the 8500 plus a spare ide controller

 

[Yknot]

Out of curiosity: since Gateway doesn't identify the cpu/memory speeds, how can one be certain this is a full-speed 8500? Their site is a bit unsettling in its vagueness.

I -thought- I could wait until the Next Big Price Drop, but this was too much: I placed an order. Then... pangs of guilt: 'phoned G8way to clarify the speed-rating of this card. Their answer... well... after 10 minutes on the phone with'em, I don't think they had an answer. Some days it goes that way! Good luck to us all.

 

[xenolith]

Is there anyway to confirm this is the retail version built by ATI? The only clue that it is a retail anything is where it says this card has a 3 year warranty. That would really suck if something like a retail branded Powercolor (clocked at 250/250) was delivered.

 

[littleman]

you guys, I need some help!!

can u use the 8500 to plug in a digi camcorder to; to edit? is that what the dvi out is for..?

thanks

littleman
can u use the 8500 to plug in a digi camcorder to; to edit? is that what the dvi out is for..?

no u can't use this one to plug a digi camcorder unless u buy the 8500 dv which cost around 100 dollars more(MSRP)

the dvi out is for the TFT (flat panel) monitor that has a digital input or maybe use a dvi to vga converter and use it with a TFT with analog input or maybe a CRT(regular) monitor and do the dual monitor with Hydravision

D*mn this is really reallyyyyyy..... temptingggggg
maybe some s*x can make me forget about this deal

 

[spanky]

quick! whats the cheapest thing at the gateway online store? i only need $.10 more of stuff to use the coupon!

 

[ogn]

Damn, Gateway's fast. Ordered yesterday. Arrived today. Then again, their headquarters is about 10 miles from me. Retail Radeon 8500. I have no reason to suspect it's clocked any different that other retails. Still at work, so haven't installed it. Great deal!
