    radeon 9800- $80
    geforce 5900 - $80

    these were cards selling for $200 not a month ago... a radeon 9700 will play any game out today (doom3, hl2) in high quality, easily.
    You talkin a radeon 9800 pro or just 9800? *licks lips* mmm mmm, would be jolly to upgrade to that 9800 pro for less than $100, since ma 9500 pro is half the speed.

    I'm afraid to even look for a price on my 9800 All-In-Wonder Pro... I think I paid $299.00 each for them ( Sideswiped got one too ) back in January
