[Amista]

Hello, I am in the process of building a new gaming PC and with the recent release of the Radeon 9800 when is the price expected to drop for the 9700?

Do you think the price chang will be significant at all?

Thanks for your help.

Price should have already dropped - from $399 msrp to $299 msrp (the 9800 has claimed the $399 spot)... Further price drops will most likely depend upon competition from nVidia.
