Sorry OcUK, but you'd have to be mad to buy a graphics card or a CPU at the moment - RAM is cheap as dirt though, and DDR2 is only going to go up in price, I reckon.

Just wow at the 280 prices...LMAO. For the time time I can remember in a long while...you can get the best cards available for way less than £300!!! Hope this competition contunes for a long while.
Fully agree & when the HD4850X2 / HD4870X2 are released, I can see Nvidia having to reduce prices even further if AMD/ATI sting them with the price against the GTX280.Sorry OcUK, but you'd have to be mad to buy a graphics card or a CPU at the moment - RAM is cheap as dirt though, and DDR2 is only going to go up in price, I reckon.

...products from the EVGA B-Stock section, where you can purchase high performance at an unbeatable price!
Yeah, 'cos the X2 wont be a lot faster for about the same price :-/
I still wouldn't buy any of them till the 4870X2 comes out as i think there will be another round of prices cuts on that cards release. How much of a numpty must people that bought the G200 series on launch day be feeling right now because no matter what they might say buying a card then watching it go down in price by nearly 200 has gotta hurt.
I failed to notice the $125 cashback part@ chaparral, What part don't you understand in the info you quoted ?.
They give you cash back or a greater amount in EVGA bucks (obv want you to spend with them so entice you with more credit).
Nvidia may even release a directx10.1 card a litlle early- even though Nvidia said that directx10.1 is not needed----------but they have one set for release next year--do the maths.
