Nice, but where are the prices listed?

I have a feeling they are going to give a flat rate back on ATI-based cards only.

I hate to rain on the parade, but they've been doing this for a couple years, and it's a pretty weak deal. For one thing you have to pay their over-inflated retail price, and they'll only give you $50 on your trade ($100 if you buy certain things). For instance, you can get the AIW 8500 for around $220 shipped from other vendors, where from ATI, AFTER your trade-in, it's $249 and you still have to pay shipping.

He never got one.
He cancelled his order & bought an Nvidia based card instead.

Not for me. The cheapest I have been able to find the Mac 8500 for is around 190-195.
I can shoot them an old-school AGP Rage IIc and get it for $149+$15 = $164. Not spectacular, but a good deal considering I can't get $10 for the video card I am trading in.

An even better deal is to know someone working at ATI. A 9700 for only $200. Yummy...
