9600/9800 XT same price as PRO
ATI has set the retail price of their new cards at $199 for the 9600XT and
$499 for the 9800XT. The same prices as the PRO versions. I would guess that will drive the actual street price of the PRO cards down a bit. Unless of course the dealers don't carry the XTs until their stock of PROs is gone. 9600 Pro -- 400/600 (Core/Memory) 9600 XT -- 500/600 9800 Pro -- 380/680 (128MB) 9800 Pro -- 380/700 (256MB) 9800 XT -- 412/730 (256MB) Faster ram chips or just OC'd? If I just bought a 9600 PRO I'd be kicking myself about now. Too_Much_Coffee ® --- Got GigaNews? http://www.giganews.com/customer/gn26215 |

Just bought a 9600 Pro and that will do me for atleast 3 years. No realy reason to buy any of the cards mentioned. They are just faster thats all.

Please. Most video cards are outdated in 6 months. As for being faster,
that's precisely the reason people buy them. Duh! "We Live For The One We Die For The One" wrote in message ... Just bought a 9600 Pro and that will do me for atleast 3 years.

The bundled "Half-Life 2" makes it even sweeter for those of us who were specifically waiting to buy a graphics card to play that game when it comes out. I have a GF2 Ti right now, and unless something unforeseen happens in the next few months, I think I'll be getting a 9600 XT for Xmas....

Not withstanding the legality/illegality of doing so, I imagine that using a duplicate product/serial key means you would be kicked off multi-play servers. Personally, having just seen the demo movie, I think they've more than earned their money. P. -- -- Paul Moloney, Technical Writer http://www.paulmoloney.org Remove the obvious bit to email |
