9600XT's wont drop that much until we see RV380 - at least a month or two. They are good cards, if you do not want to spend a lot of money buying one now is not a bad option.
There must be BIG price cuts coming (or rebates, argh). I don't know many of us who would pay essentially the same $400 for last year's technology, good cards or not! :)
Actually I wasnt expecting PCI-E to be available for 939 until late summer and had pretty well convinced myself I didnt need it. Hopefully the PCI-E is being bumped up to rollout closer to 939 and 939 isnt being bumped back to accomodate PCI-E. >:(
Lord almight every month its 'in a month or so' wrt the 939 launch. Has it been pushed back from the June 1 Computex date now?????? I have half a mind to flip amd the bird and get a 3.4 ghz P4. >:(

So I have a question: the Athlon XP Mobile chips are not multiplier locked. What about the Mobile (DTR) Athlon 64 chips? (Hey, I can dream, can't I?)KristopherKubicki - Tuesday, May 11, 2004 - link
Hehe, to be honest, i think everyone is having problems getting PCI-Express to work. Thats what Intel has been delayed too.Kristopher
