why not pick up a 9800pro for 200, you get the card now not in 3mths and its almost as good as the 9800xt.

Apoptosis saved me from wasting my money about 2 months ago when I wanted to get the 9600xt. With it on sale for the weekend and a 50$ rebate i got the 9800pro (128meg) for 200. Now I want 256megs!

And the 9800pro 256 can be modded into a XT with a bios flash. And from what I've read the Asus is the best one for the job........ :twisted:

don't hold your breath on any price drops soon. The R420's haven't hit the market in force yet. I'd expect the big push to come end of summer. July/Aug is a good time for price cuts. It's also the time HL2 will be out and college students are getting PC's for college. 9800Pro 256mb with a flash to an XT is the way to go.
