hey, actually i couldn't catch wat u were tyring to say at first but then i realized that nforce2 is by nvidia, duh!!! haha....ur right! kinda ironic! But there's no way i am gonna get that gf fx card! It would either b the 9700 pro or the 9800 pro depending on the price though......as the NV35 won't be out in a while i think.

Does anyone have any info on when would the radeon 9800 pro b available in Malaysia?

er. nothing wrong with that. i'm using Radeon 9000 Pro on nVidia chipset. now it wouldn't make sense if they make them incompatible. nVidia might just lose market share if people decided to go VIA chipset so they can use ATI graphics card.

and when it arrives. you'll know.

Well, I would like to know if anyone's got any info on when would the radeon 9800 pro wil b available in malaysia cos i am building a new system and am contemplating on whether to get a 9700 pro or wait until the 9800 pro. Got all the other stuff already just the graphics card left. I asked on another forum and some guys said it would only b available in another month or 2 from now. And i dun think i can't wait tat much longer, just wann buy n hav the parts sent to me.

I am thinking of getting the Gigabyte Maya 2 9700 pro, which is retailing at rm1450 now. Would anyone dealing in pc hardware, like Chai for example have any idea whether there would b a price drop in like 1-2 weeks time for the radeon 9700 pro?

thanks in advance for any info!

definately WAIT for the 9800 Pro.. no point getting a 6 month old hardware for the same price since it's here in Malaysia right???

I agree with peaz, no point getting 9700 Pro, even if it's a little cheaper. I doubt the price will ever drop less than RM1200. Radeon 9800 will totally replace 9700.
