Just a guess though.
You really think they'll go that low? Even the 9700 Pros haven't gone down to that price level yet.

the x800pro and x800xt are both currently for sale at certain websites (bestbuy.com and compusa.com i believe) If you look around the ATI website you will find the link to the page

Although the 9800pro 128mb has been the best "bang for the buck" card for a long while now, with a very good price..for very good performance, there is a new card comming out on the market which seems to be much better.

Nividia's new 6600GT AGP chip (according to what I have read) beats out the 9800pro, and is more so, in competition with ATI's 9800XT 256MB. Read this on Firingsquad.com

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...gp/default.asp

Check it out...I believe that seems to be the new "bang for the buck card".

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...t_agp_roundup/

That is another article from them, about the different cards that are comming out for that Chip...the BFG OC (although a bit more expensive) seems to deliver the best performance out of all of them, since it comes from the factory already OCed a bit. Hope this helps.
