Worth it to buy OEM ATI 9700 Pro from newegg...

[NOX]

My brother is looking to buy this card for $389.00 from newegg, I'm not to sure what the retail version will be bundled with, but I assume some great software. I'm trying to advise my brother to hold off. What do you guys think?

although this deal may be dead expect similar prices as the 9700's emerge😉

oem vs retail hmmm....i would prefer the retail anyday=my $.02 worth

and i understand that link is out of them but those are retail and they do allow a waiting list as the newegg is also auto-notify

also on pricewatch search using :ati 9700 pro retail

mwave retail but has no stock 373.14

ATi Radeon Pro 9700 Retail interface: AGP8x memory: 128 DDR $369.00

so i'd tell him to skip oem as retail can be found cheaper

hope this helps
