ATI Radeon 9800 and 9600 XT

With Half Life 2 on the way, the new Radeon is also coming. The ATI Radeon 9800 and 9600 XT are scheduled to be released in October and are supposed to be much faster than the previous Pro versions. Both cards run quieter and if you purchase one, you will also recieve a free copy of Half Life 2 when it is released. The 9800 XT is supposed to be $499 and the 9600 XT will be under $200. I don't think I'll be able to afford a 9800 XT, so I think I'll go with the 9600 XT and get my free copy of Half Life 2. Or maybe I should wait until the come out with the All In Wonder versions of the cards.

Damn, ATI just answered my prayers. I was planning on getting an ATI card of some kind for HL2, and now they just offer them together!

But I, like weezerjedi, don't have 500 bucks to kick around, so I'm just gonna have to hope that the $200 9600 will give me what I need.
