    They keep listing this since Feb at $60-65, and they appear never to sell out ... Like I said the last time $35; then they'd get out of the product stream... At $35-40 it would be off-setting those GSO sales; 13-15% performance increase and 17W lower at idle.

    I think it's better just save cash and go for something stronger. 4850/4830s/gts 250s etc.

    These have been on sale in the $40 range, there's really no point in paying $60.

    Especially with Radeon 4850's going on sale for $55 occasionally.

    In fact, right now for $10 more you can get a Radeon 4850 512mb card on ZipZoomFly.com.

    For $15 more you can get the Radeon 4850 1GB card, also on ZipZoomFly.com.

    Nice to see Ben's back to touting the after rebate price as "shipped." I guess old habits die hard.

    Not a good deal. Last generation card, go for the current modern cards: They are faster and cheaper.

    yep 4850 is about 70-80 now on sale. this is no sale. even 4830s are about 65 on sale. but truthfully this is too old to be of much use much less charging 60 for them with rebate.

    Oh how the mighty have fallen. I would prefer to see the 3850 at 50-55 bucks. Those are much quieter and run much cooler.
