Here is the link it is a good read , I had though retail Radeon 7500's could be found for as low as $102 US but I made a mistke sorry guys as I glanced at pricewatch.com real quick, the $102 is OEM and it is even cheaper $96 for OEM 7500 but I do not know what clk/mem or type of ram you would get

The best buy is Powermagic Retail Radeon 7500 that comes with 290/230 just as ATI Retail 7500's do.

Good overclocking part in the article

$70 for radeon 7500 at best buy?????

i was just there on sunday and the price was $149(original is $199 but the price is lowered cuzz it was returned)

and $80 for a maxtor 40GB?????

comon man thats pretty crazy i saw the HD prices at best buy the same day...the cheapest one was $50 for maxtor 20GB (5400rpm)

did u go when there was some monster sale or something?

Correction, it was $70 for a 7000, not a 7500, lol. Sorry!

And two days after christmas, i went to best buy to pick up a 20gig for my linux box, and saw the 20's were $49.99, and the 40's were $99.99, plus a $10 mail-in. So i went to the register and it rang up as $89.99, and once the rebate comes in it'll be like $80 in the end.

Maybe it's cuz u live in California. I hear prices down there are insanely high... Heh, no sales tax up here in NH either:D :D

Actually, i love the simpsons, but i always forget to watch it...

And whenever i do see it it's always one of the same ones i always see... Maybe i'll have to figure out that TV-in-ur-comp thingy...

why does everyone like morpheous? it's so slow for me... I like that WinMX thingy, it's really fast and has lots of servers.

Yes, it is strange... going back to the simpsons thing, can you use one of those Radeon 64mbDDR VIVO cards to get cable on the comp? Or do you also need a TV-tuner? Lol, i think i just answered my own question...
