for those that rely on newegg.com for their parts (me!). Today I just wanted to look up on a part in a different site. Zipzoomfly has a retail MSI x800PRO for $199 w/ free 2nd day shipping. The same model number card is $269 on newegg. I figured I should share this since a lot of people use newegg. Prices on newegg and ZZF pretty much fluctuate between one having better prices. I've seen cheaper things on one than the other. So Save $70 for this card on ZZF. search this model # RX800PRO-TD256E. Though what is wierd...if you search this RX800PRO-TD256 (no "E") There is 2 EXACT cards but one that is much more expensive, they are both retail.....go figure.

NZXT Nemesis Elite
Athlon 64 3200
Abit An8
OCZ EL PE Rev2 DDR400
X800PRO

well upon closer inspection, the $199 card is the PCI Express version. The $269 is AGP. Wow....AGP users pay a premium for the x800pro... the PCI Express version is still $269 on newegg.

I suggest you look again...they are NOT the exact same thing. The card with the "E" is PCI-e...the card without is AGP. Newegg doesn't appear to carry the AGP version...
Newegg has the "E" for $269 + $3.50 shipping...ZZF has it for $269.99 w/free shipping. The saving is $2.50.
BTW, rumor has it that newegg & ZZF are the same company. I've never been able to confirm that though

OOOOPs, got the cards mixed up...obviously you figured out that one is AGP & one is PCI-e. But you're right, the PCI-e card at ZZF is $70 cheaper...$73.50 if you include shipping

Yeah, I've mentioned in a couple of threads to check out zipzoomfly. They're beating newegg in price repeatedly on many items these days.

ZZF still doesn't have as big a product lineup though...
