btw - seems to be a few reference to ATI in the review. shouldn't that be AMD? I miss the red canadian giant too, but bringing up the ATY stockticker on my screens just shows 'Acquired'....
I agree. I can only think that the reason it's called 9xxx is so they can charge so damn much for it! As other's have stated, it's a pretty poor deal at the currently listed prices - 8800GT is only £10 more.
I also can't understand why Hexus tested it against a 256MB 8800GT? Kinda makes the whole "review" bogus in my eyes.
