of course they ship ATI to Canada, those cards are made there, and the 5900 doesnt require a 8x AGP but if you have it is better...

yes, i know they make them here. but i'm talking about that american site that bigdawg posted, www.newegg.com, i'm hoping they ship to canada. anyone know of any good sites that sell ati 9700 pro for cheap in canada?


EDIT: WHOA!! 256 bit! damn, that's a nice card:

Link That is a direct link to the 9700Pro. It is $220.

OEM means nothing bad.

lmfao do you even know what oem means bigdawg?

look man.... an oem card doesnt have games, software, cables, or whatever goodies you think that comes in a card.... all you get is a crappy manual, a crappy installation guide, and the drivers.... nothing more...

its the same card, though

whoa whoa whoa, hold up a minute. cables? do you need cables to install the card, or cables as in tv out or svideo? but otherwise, it&#39;s all good. on second thought, i don&#39;t even know y i posted, that link that bigdawg gave me didn&#39;t say it was oem. oh well, now i know what it means, could come in handy later on .

[DWk]

yea.... svideo cable for example....

as i said...the "goodies".... mostly additional stuff you dont actually need but would like to use sometime

[cpt_azad]

Newegg.com does not ship internationally. At this time we only ship within the United States and Puerto Rico

:&#39;(

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah I know what it means. I think he was refering to like does it mean it doesnt perform as well? or maybe something like refurb, I was just telling him that it was fine and nothing was wrong with it.

The card from newegg is a retail..he cant get it anyway though so it doesnt matter.

Yeah, does Newegg even deliver to Canada?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Nope he found out that it doesnt.

Dude, if you have no interest in building a computer yourself, see if you like anything from Dell. They are the cheapest preconfigured computers you can get.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Dell is the best for prebuilt. There support is unmatched. I call them, tell them my speakers dont work, he ask me whats the problem, and then says, "we have new speakers on the way" ....I love their support.

HOWEVER, the only problem is that like if you change operating systems, or add ram or ANY other hardware that is not from them...you like loose your support if you tell them about it..so DONT tell them...
