Should I get a Radeon 9700 Pro for $130-$150?

[snik]

Ok my friend is selling his 9700 Pro between $130 and $150. It was the retail package by ATI. Should go ahead and grab it from him? Fact is, I just upgraded my video card to a GF4 Ti4200 and I'm happily running it at 325/660 Is it worth to upgrade so soon?

Buy it and sell it to me. Give ya $160 + shipping for it

For that much yes. Then sell your GF4 and you practically have a free Radeon.

it would be worth it to just buy it and sell it for profit.

That is dirt cheap for a 9700P. Its easily $100 less than going rate.

I'll get it. I'll give my GF4 to my brother, that will be his graduation day present.

Only one hehe. This guy's parents are super rich and thus he's very spoiled. He's going for the AIW9800Pro.

he's rich... and spoiled... that means she never uses all the features of anything. he prolly also has two gigs of ram to run internet explorer.

 

[cmdrdredd]

well, you say he and she referring to the same person in one sentence?



Well, in my experience even the richest people (my dad's boss) never buys what they won't use. He bought a Dell instead of a high end system which I could build. why? Well, because the Dell did what it did and for what he needs it for.

That price is absolutely superb. Go for it.

Fact is, I just upgraded my video card to a GF4 Ti4200 and I'm happily running it at 325/660

The 9700 Pro will blow that card out of the water.

Do it dude ... i'm pretty content with my Gainward Ti4200 .... but I'd jump at a chance like that. I'd really like to see how much better it can get.

What!!? You haven't bought it already!?

In the least, buy it and sell for a profit!

I love my ATI 9700 Pro.
