I dropped into my local CompUSA to look at deals on X1900 cards. Almost got one for $190 but they seem to be sold out chain wide. Real bummer.
I will try to grab one by Christmas and start the experiment, if I can get it by the Finance Committee.
Hmm, where are those diamond ads I saw last week?
The Diamond X1950pro 512 is suppose to be available in AGP. I'm not sure if now, or in a couple weeks. Probally reasonably priced too.
There should also be a price drop on the X19xx whan the 8800 settles down price wise. Not sure how long that will take though.
