same price) i've just recieved my hercules 9800 pro. a damn fine card. £143

X800Pro ships on June 04. CompUSA is taking pre-orders now.
Its $400 and about twice as fast.

So either get the $180~220 9800Pro or wait for the X800...

Only a fool would spend $350~500 on a 9800XT or 5950 card.

hmm my powercolor (yikes) 9600xt makes ut2004 do the
same thing - maxed out 1280x960, smooth as...

just, i came home last night and discovered the fan
on the damn thing had stopped and it overheated and
died. oops.

Never the less, there are peaks and valleys to the product cycle in relation
to the end users price benefit. Darthy makes a valid point.

Remember: In the USA - it is dangeroud to draw or write about Heir Bush in a negative way. The police or SS are called, people threaten to kill you. (What country is this again?)

- 15yr old boy in Washington was disciplined for drawing such images.
- White House blows cover of an undercover agent because her husband said there were no WMD (before the USA started the war) - her job was finding terrorist. (This makes sense?)
God bless the land of the free. Where you can burn the Constitution... Ashcroft does it every day.
