I can't believe I did it....
Well I don't know how many of you read Anandtechs forums but they had a posting about how you can get a ATI Radeon 8500 for a whole $200 bucks! For you that are interested this is what you have to do:
goto dell's website
goto Software and Peripherals
Select Small Business
Search for either ATI or Radeon 8500
Select it and you get 20% off which equals to just about $50 bucks off. I had to pay $12 bucks in taxes but I got next day shipping for Free! The two biggest problems are that it runs out today and you can only get it if your in the USA. I got an estmated ship date of the 9th of October.
The best/worst thing that could happen is that Matrox will say something next week about the next gen card coming out. I still plan on getting that card, no questions asked. I just get rid of the Radeon 8500 on ebay or something
and recover at least 3/4 of the cost of the card.
I'll do some benchmarking when I get the card also for those interested....
