Will the XT ever be below $400 US?

[myth]

I am considering buying one since they are only $416 US at dell right now! And yes there in stock!!!! This is a amazing deal considering they are normaly $550 - $600! And the Pros are only $330.... I will get one only if you guys think the price wont drop any lower! I'd hate to buy one and see the price drop to $350 in a month!

So whats your opinions? Think I should go for it?

I would - then again I would probably eBay it right after I get it :-P

Sounds a bit fishy to me. How can Dell offer a $600 card for $400? Sure, Dell buy in bulk, but not to cut their own throats. Has anybody actually managed to order one and then actually receive it? You don't have to buy it *in* a Dell to qualify, do you?

Having said all the above, now the Nvidia cards are in good supply, and the 6800GTs are pulling good numbers, I think we are seeing a lot more pressure on prices. My GT had dropped £50 before I bought it (i.e. about $80), and that was in the space of 2 weeks. You just have to jump in when you feel the price is right for you.

Let's face it, any $400 card today is going to be worth $40 in two years time, so it's just a question of feeling you've got your money out of whatever you buy when you buy/sell it...

I know of 3 people who have bought the Pro ad XT from Dell, they recived them in a week! And they were the original ATI versions! That is a great price! Dell is crazy!

See....
