Question Is there a conspiracy goin' on?

I've noticed that both newegg, mwave, and googlegear have no cards with 9700 pro chipset availible. Is there something happening that i don'd know about? I am going to have to get a card soon.

Um, I don't think you looked hard enough:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...alue=3048,3668
That's 7 different Radeon 9700 pro cards at newegg. 1 is in stock.

And googlegear also has the same one in stock: http://www.googlegear.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=320674

These are the All in Wonder cards though, so they are the most expensive. Not sure if that is what you want.

The 9700 cards are a hot item and hard to keep in stock.

Everyone wants one and it's going to get worse in a few more weeks when the 9800 comes out and the price for the 9700/9500pro drops.
ATI is now starting the campaign for their new card.
See here:http://www.ati.com/

At Rage3D they're talking about it for March 3rd.
ATI is not planning on losing any time.
The fact that NVidia to a prat fall hasn't changed their timing.

are those just rumours or a statement of fact? I hope its real The fact of the matter is that I want to get a build in for March break, and I want to get the card off a reputable dealer. It is evil that this is happening, but thats life.

I can't get to rage3d to post the thread link for you just now.
Whatever it is will probably clear up later so I'll be trying again.

If you look at the custom builders on line, most are offering the 9700 pro so I'll bet they bought up a bunch. When I bought mine (at best buy) several months ago they had alot of them and so did most of the online stores.
