Re: 9800gx2...

But prices will drop soon enough as with anything UNLESS it is such great demand like the E8400 processor is. The processor I got was $218 now just about everywhere they are $260 or more. Demand and how many are actually available will determine the prices soon enough.

Re: 9800gx2...

more on the ATI price cuts

"ATI IS GOING TO drop prices on the 3850 and 3870 in the next day or two. This is not a short term thing, it is a permanent cut.

The price on the 3850/512 is going to sink to $145 or below, and the 3870/512 should hit $159 or less. At that money, many may ask, why bother with the 3850?

In any case, these are screamingly good deals. You can buy three 3870s for the price of a 3870X2, or three and a mobo for less than a GX2. Not bad."

Re: 9800gx2...

That is awesome Bamboo. I'm really tempted to go with a crossfirex mobo and start messing around with the 3870 cards or the 4 series when they release. I really have to give ATi credit for doing what ever it takes to stay competitive. (Im a sucker for underdogs)
