Barely a month before release, a guy sold two GeForce 9600GT cards for ~$700. The R700 is already touted to be the ' Jesus Card '. Good luck finding one for at least $5000 or below (now).

Well I went back to Fry's to buy the card but it wouldn't scan a the register, so the girl called her supervisor who said it shouldn't have been on the shelf yet and they could not sell it before the release date.
I asked when the release date was but he didn't know, so he made a copy of the product id label with their item#5691641 and said if I called the store they could tell me the relaese date.

I can't wait to get one, but I am not going to be like the peoplle that purchased the
9800gx2 or the other cards that come out of the gate for a few hundie more then they
should, then drop like rocks when another card comes on the scene or production goes
up...

I'll wait a few months and play with some less expensive toys....

I'm going to buy when they become available because I have the money. I don't think I'll ever be able to jump on this much power any time soon, so I'm going to take advantage of it while I can.

Yeah, TBH, it got to the point where my puter was in bits being upgraded more than I was actually using it.....and it takes so much time up also, maybe I will get renewed entusiasm in a few months.
