Best Buy Ripoff (SOLVED!)
Yesterday I went to Best Buy to purchase a 9700 Pro on sale for $299. When I got home and opened the SEALED box I realized the card inside was NOT a 9700 pro. It wasn't even an ATI card (I don't think). I immediately went back to Best Buy in NYC and demanded a return/exchange. They told me since the package was sealed when I bought it, and the contents were different that they wouldn't accept the return. They told me to contact ATI, which I did. ATI informed me that since I didn't buy from them directly they cannot do an exchange.
Here's the card I actually got in the box:
Did ATI ever make a card based on the SIS 6236 chipset? I'm trying to figure out where the problem occured. As it stand right now I'm out 325 bucks.
Thanks for your help.
