A 9800 Pro for the Mac.... That sounds awesome!

Great low price of $3,599. Free shipping.

Well this sucks. $399 US or $649 Cdn. That's about $50 more if I want to pay in coin of the realm. :doubt:

Radeon 9800 PRO 256MB AGP: $499 US or $799 Cdn. Also 50 bucks more!

Stuff your free shipping ATI. You're only about 45 minutes away from me. Just give me parity for fugg's sake, and I'll drive over and pick up my vid card. :roll:

Admittedly, I did not go check out the prices. Why on earth would shipping be more expensive in Canada?

Sorry I shot my mouth off there, but it's the prices of the product I'm bitching about. They make the cards in a plant that's 45 minutes away from me, but they charge me more for the card in effect, than you would pay at full list. Something just stinks about that. Why is it more at home?

So sorry, I should have let them have it via Email, not shoot my mouth off in here. :oops: :oops: :(

Nameless. I took no offense whatsoever.. I am curious as to why it would be that expensive in Canada. Makes no sense to me. :?

Sorry to hear that. I LOVE my 9700 Pro. Is it possible that the Mac drivers are a little off?
I do admit that I also loved my Nvidia, but I think that this machine is pretty well done as far as hardware goes. When PCI express comes out, I may have to get another rig :)
