Go to a compusa store. Just call ahead to make sure they are in stock. My local shop had 8 in stock.

Whats a CompUSA Business Partner? I ended up buying the rosewill brand X800XL from newEgg. I'm kicking myself for getting that instead of the ATI branded X800XL.. Oh well, hopefully I don't get any problems.

Never change your hardware signature before the part arrives! That almost always garauntees that you will have problems

You are so right! I changed my sig this morning b/c I learned that my Powercolor X800XL had been delivered. I went home at lunchtime to find that I was sent the ATI X800XL instead. Ugh!!!

Not only Dual DVI, VIVO but also 1.6ns DDR3 compared to 2.0 DDR3, external power connector, larger heat sink.

Compusa's price is $272 for registered business partners, you know state tax id's and the such. If you have that then they offer lower pricing

The ATI X800XL I'm returning I bought from CompUSAbusiness. No state tax id's or anything were required. I just had it sent to my workplace to make it more official. A large number of folks have gotten the cheaper pricing thru CompUSAbusiness.
