BB ATI 9600pro $129

This is probably idiocy at its finest but....

So the 4 square black things are the RAM, right? (just want to be sure)

snvpa · Oct 25, 2003

yup the 4 black things are ram. if they say samsung its a pro if they say hynix its a se

ok, just an update...

i went to return the 9600SE (that was not a 9600pro) and i had no problems...no restocking fee at all...

also, i checked and they already sold out of all the 9600se's they had in stock, so i couldn't try another one...

for anyone whose in san francisco...that's the best buy that didn't have the 9600pro in the 9600se i bought

Im in Bloomington IL, and I got a pro in an SE box..

im in chicago ridge abnd went to orland park.. me and my cousin took the last SE model from them and it was a PRO series.. my cousisn didnt believe me but it ended up to be one so he saves quite a bit of money since he is goign to give free HL2 with it..

I got a pro my number on the box is 180336008963-01.

Everyone list your numbers whether you got a pro or an se and maybe we can find a pattern.

BigSmokey · Oct 27, 2003

pro = 180339011683-01

Mr.DLucey · Oct 27, 2003

I would say if you try and fail to get a Pro to list that number too. Could be all pros end in a -01 or begin with 18033 in stead of end in -02 or begin with 170033 or something to that effect.

se = 180340020765-01

i've yet to return it so hopefully before i do we can see the pattern...

Warren G · Oct 28, 2003

well so far the pattern i see is 18034 = se and 18033 = pro

DipStickTony · Oct 28, 2003

180336008963-01 pro
180339011683-01 pro
180340020765-01 Non pro

Mr.DLucey · Oct 30, 2003

"Bump"

Banyan · Oct 31, 2003

anyone test the theory (the pattern) yet?

Warren G · Oct 31, 2003

Im so tempted to do this since my friend works at BB so i can get a good discount but not sure if i wanna blow cash on another vid card.

hkgonra · Oct 31, 2003

The pattern appears to be good.

Check out this thread.

Geez this is a great deal. I'm still using my 8500DV (a slow 64mb 8500)...I've been looking to upgrade, but money is tight. I just might have to jump on this deal though.

Are 9600pro's really a great upgrade from an 8500 or should I just wait for some 9700pro deals? (i.e. used/classifieds)

Argh, cyber deals rules, but makes me go broke sometimes! HA!

Seriously though, I'm atleast gonna stop at BB today and see what cards they have and check the model numbers.

I might buy one this weekend...we'll see.

Turd Furguson · Oct 31, 2003

I will be going to Best Buy tomorrow. I will let you guys know later in the evening if the pattern is correct by me getting a PRO card.

DipStickTony · Oct 31, 2003

im about to go right now....the only for sure numbers seem to be

336 and 339....i read a report about a 338 being an se so beware

lyle · Oct 31, 2003

Ha, if you haven't been to a Best Buy yet, don't go. All the shelves have been raped of 9600SE's, and all the sales guys just snicker when you ask them when they'll get some more in. I just went to three stores and not a single 9600SE in sight, not that I expected to actually see one.

DipStickTony · Oct 31, 2003

yup there are NO radeon cards period on the shevles......a compUSSR had one though it was a 334 so i didnt bother.
