Mackie2k,

I am also looking to buy this card, but nowhere to be found. Is it really the X800 XT AIW that is offered ? Is it a pre-order, or it is somewhere in stock ?

I am ready to buy, but can't decide between waiting (for how long...) the X800 XT AIW, buying the cheaper X600 AIW, or an X300 that would be changed when the AIW get to store shelves., or X800 XL and separate TV tuner. I need video editing, so the AIW is a nice fit.

i dont know where your guyses sources are, but the x800XT is generally faster then the 6800ultra.

btw, that watercooled 6800ultra looks INSANE

The AIW is slower than a normal XT.

I think they are sold out, the fastest cards on that site I could find were a 256MB 6600, and a 9600.

Sorry you didn't read some of my other posts that I provided links to. In one of those posts I stated that the Xtasy X800 XT WAS NOT LISTED ON THE MICROTECH WEB SITE, but that they had them in some of the stores, and that if you could get Micro Center's SKU number MAYBE you could order online.

Too bad, the sale ended yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't see your response from the 14th until now. I had posted about this same deal about 5 times in various Anandtech forums. I know of at least one reader who snatched one up right away.

Maybe they run another sale and you can snag one of them if they have any left...

I work at MS, too. Where are you seeing the X800 XT price for $250? When I go to the internal msmarket site, and navigate to the 'Dell MS periperals and 3rd party hardware' portal I see it for $477. I've been looking around for video cards on the ms internal sites and that's all I can find, other than an MSI X800 XT PE for $521.
I'd love to purchase the x800 xt for $250.
