Pfunk, it's a $170 gamble... I'm tempted... I really am.

I have also informed a friend who is in the research/planning stage of building his next PC.

Frog, where? I checked newegg.com and pricewatch and found a crapload of different prices.

No gamble at all, just return the sucker...

hehe good point! not clear on best buy's return policy though... I dont want in-store credit at that place! Not the best place to purchase hardware.

BestBuy has NO restocking fee on items, as long as you return it within the 30day period you will get all your $$$$ back.

in every Fry's you can get is for this price

Dinger · « **Reply #26 on:** November 05, 2003, 10:36:41 PM »

yeah, and as far as I can tell, the differences between the XT and the Pro are:

A) the XT does hyperz compression to 24:1, whereas the Pro does only 8:1, although this doesn't seem to have much of an effect on frame rates.

B) The XT has a factory clockspeed of 500 MhZ, and the Pro has one of 400. The Pro's chip isn't locked at 400, and easily overclocks to beyond 500mhz, using software that adds an extra window to the "monitor properties tab".

Did you check the S/N # on top of the box? Did it correspond to either one I listed above?

Octavius · « **Reply #29 on:** November 10, 2003, 11:19:55 PM »

Yes. Both the box and the card are wrong. I used ATI's product ID thing as well. I'll be sure to check the top of other boxes when I return this one.
