    Wow, really surprised at Asus 9800XT price...

    Asus is known for making loaded video cards, and know for the pricing to go along with it. Newegg has the retail Asus 9800XT on for $30 less than the retail BBA 9800XT...strange indeed!

    The ATI Retail package is listed at $40 over MSRP, though.

    These are the 256MB cards, not the 128MB.

    There are no ATI-brand 128MB 9800XTs.

    Be cautious, they aren't listed on reseller ratings, so you don't know how good their services are.

    I don't know, are they? I was looking for a company with the name "buyxtremegear".

    The site resellers list is Xtreme Gear http://www.buyxtremegear.com

    That rerouts you to http://www.buyxg.com/ but when you click on a idem you get the long address again.
    I think they are the same place, but it's not the Asus card & they don't have it.....

    The company is xtreme gear i believe. I bought my ram from them and had absolutely no problems, their shipping was actually incredibly fast too. I wouldn't think twice about buying from them again, their prices for almost everything seem to be cheaper than newegg.
