the price of the G3

before it was speculated that the G3 will be for $600. That's the number that I saw the most on the forums. Now the card is priced at $495. as soon as the card came out!!! I think that's rather good. Anybody have any other opinions?
I'm curious at what price the GF2 GTS 1st came out at and the GF2 ULTRA.
the $495 is based on the new ELSA 920 Video Card.
I'll probably be getting the GF3 real close to cristmas as that's when the GF3 took great falls this year (price wise) I'm expecting $250 for x-mas?
Depends on how early the Radeon II comes out too...
I'll consider the RadeonII when it comes out though. the stability of the drivers and how much more power it has or hasn't over the GF3
