What is the deal with this Sapphire X800 XT Plat Ed (PE) video card for $279 @ zipzoomfly. The only thing I can see is that it says price ends 1/21/05, yet its still showing up on PriceGrabber etc and it adds to your cart at that price.

Suggestions/Comments? Maybe its an 800xt with the 4 additional pipelines opened? Very wierd....

I ordered one anyway so I guess I'll find out in a couple of days...

they dont whack out any more X800XT PE's so its old stock, they prolly just got a couple left they wanna get out the stockroom rather than be left with them when the price gets even lower....

edit: how u mean 800XT with 4 pipes opened? u mean X800XT? that was a 16 pipe card, the PE is just clocked higher......the X800 Pro had 4 pipes disabled....

Thats what I meant the x800 Pro ... sorry 'bout that.

And I received it yesterday and works like a charm. Double checked the stickers/chips/clock speeds to verify it was a PE ;)

All seems in order...
