9600XT AWOL:
It looks as if ATI is pulling up a bit short for you 9600XT fans. Quite simply, they are nowhere to be found. A paper launch? While some might think it qualifies as one, we have been notified by the BlueKnights that defend the Best Buy trenches, that the 9600XT will be on some shelves by 11/7, but they will be far and few between. Beyond that, it looks as if allocations will be very tight for November and it is anyone's guess for December.
