Only PCI-E MSRP price, so lets wait and see what we get in November. I am still searching for the Radeon 9800 PRO All-In-Wonder card. So far the lowest price I have seen is $271 shipped. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to bobby)

Not always the best gaming choice, but so versatile! I was eyeing the AIW-9600 until I saw the price start dropping on the 9800 Pro 128MB Still more $ than the 6600GT, but dang if the AIW cards aren't versatile little suckers. Recording TV alone makes it a great buy. Especially with something like this: http://www.viewsonic.com/products/networking/wirelessmedianetworks/wirelessmediaadapter/wma100/ and something like this: http://www.hitachi.us/tv/browse/lcd/lcd_index.shtml _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Add another $71 to that and you can upgrade it to the AIW. I hope this new stream of cards will come out soon, once they do I will be buying the 9800 PRO AIW. $271 is stilll pretty expensive for just a graphics card. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to bobby)

With all of these new ones looking so good, the price on the 9x00's should be dropping like lead. _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
