I would suspect that in 3-4 months you'll be able to get a 9700 at that price. When the FX gets released prices on the ATi's will plummet, especially considering the R350/R400 are slated for release at the end of Q1/Q2, respectively. In March spend that money on a 9700 Pro.

I am the TECH ORACLE. Feel the power.

Personally, I would hold out.

Nvidia should have a new card out in February and I'm sure ATI will come down in price a bit more then as well.

How much are they going for new?, you can hold out forever with Graphics cards but there ARE supposed to be some new releases soon with FX just round the corner...
