Comment:

Most sites on the internet have said that the release date of the Nvidia Geforce 8600 and 8500 series and the ATI Radeon X2900 would be April 17th??
What happened? I checked this morning on the usual component sites to find out how much they are, but nothing!? not even anything on Nvidias website about the 8600 and 8500?
Are they just trying to flog off all of last seasons left overs first, hoping that nobody knows that there are new models on the horizon?
