tech bargains or bens bargains for the coupon

Another way to push your total over $200 - add this game (it has a $20 rebate from MS in the box):

AOE2

or see if they have any of these in stock

if one were to get the card, some more stuff adding up to like $250, then use the $50 coupon to drop back to $200, and then pricematch it with amex to get some $50 back, making it $150 for both items? possible?

this is close search item# 0000157202.

Anyone
I need a vid card for a new system build and am not sure what to get. Radeon 8500, GF3 ti200 (deal for about $90-100 also at gway), or the GF4 4400 (deal for around $250).
The cost really isn't that much of an issue, want something that I can keep for awhile.......I think. Is it better to get a card an keep it for awhile or keep trading up by always buying the mid spectrum technology after the newest thing comes out?
Thanks for your thoughts!!

Wolfram, I think you've got the right idea. It really makes little sense to keep getting the "latest and greatest" video card when you have to spend such a premium for technology that won't be useful until apps are optimized for the latest features a newly released card has to offer. IMO, you can't go wrong getting either a GF3 ti200 or a Radeon 8500 for the best price/performance/longevity ratio right now.

Thanks. NOw how do the radeon 8500 differ from the upcomming 128mb cards. (radeon 8800?)

ATI's site describes the FIRE GL? 8800 as a mid-range workstation graphics accelerator.

Picked one of these up, thanks for the link.

Just for the record, I got the 8500 and the Logitech Wireless Mouse for $159 shipped. Great deal.

[Mavrick007]

You can't get any of these deals if you don't use a credit card right?
Ie. You can't call in and place an order and then send a money order, or am I wrong?

 

[Mltsao]

wtf president's week just pasted and i just spent over 300... dont make me spend more.

 

[geekender]

Any good deals on the ~$27 stuff? Everything I see is overpriced.

Edit: Accessory store down.

 

[tiejiba]

can't resist. jumped on. Ordered card and AOE II, altogether 149.90. with the $20 rebate bring it down to 130. the nice thing of it, is both the coupon and the free shipping is 199.00
