Warm? Radeon 8500LE 128 Gamepack (retail) $117

[Entropism]

Mwave.com has the 8500LE 128Mb gamepack retail box for $117, came out to $126 with shipping. The lowest I found for a retail gamepack (comes with Counterstrike & extras) was $130 at Amazon, but since it ships from Office Depot, you can't use any coupons for it, be it from Amazon OR OD. Anyways, after getting in on the Santa Cruz deal today, I figured I might as well upgrade my TNT2, so I jumped on the ATI deal from Mwave. Discuss amongst yourselves. 🙂

If you don't need the gamepack, ENPC.com has the OEM whitebox for $99.95, not including shipping.

I was under the impression that the OEM versions were underclocked by quite a bit, and the retail LEs could overclock to regular 8500 speeds. Or was I mistaken?

Either way, since I currently have a TNT2, I don't have many games, and Counter Strike would be a nice addition. =)

Yeah, well, fine. =) Then it's a hot deal for people who:

Don't have games
Have a slow connection to the net (Thank god I have cable)
Live in NY (ENPC charges me tax)
Dont want to risk a slower OEM clock.

It's a very select few people who'll get this as a hot deal, but I'm one of them. lol

(And I felt so good when I ordered this. Thanks, killjoys! 😀 )
