So I ordered an x800xt from Gateway back in June 3rd. Doubt I'll ever see one from them.

So does anyone have a clue when they'll show up in bulk? Or is my rig going to sit here and collect dust for another 3 months?
 
well dont you have a spare card that you could use untill your x800xt arrives?
 
Yeah, I have an ATI Rage Pro 16MB........

I might be able to play Zork with that at 1600x1200....
 
Ewww^

I to want a x800xtpe but I chose to just wait for them to hit stores. Got way tired of the ship date bumps. Might get a 6800UE if it arrives a lot sooner. I also wanted to pay for my card now, and not when it was shipped. I have the money to complete my new rig now. I might not a month or two from now. So I just went to BestBuy (since I hate CompUSA) and bought a $550 gift certificate. When the card comes in, if ever, well there you have it. A quick drive and I'm in business.

*prays* God, please give Samsung a swift kick in the ass so I can get an awesome card with great memory? Thanks.

I'd rather get the card I wanted instead of getting one 2 weeks earlier and then in two weeks you go, "that was so short, i wish i had my x800xtpe"
 
ATI pulled the X800XT PE from their website. That's not a good sign. I guess buying one from them is impossible as well.

ATI's online store is funny. They sell the 9800XT for 499 and the X800 Pro for 399.

That will not fit newer motherboards at all. And even if it did, the 3.3V-only AGP support would fry your new system's mobo (which accepts only 1.5V and 0.8V cards).
