Celestica Radeon 9800XT 256mb Gold Edition
The
ATi Radeon X800 series may very well be the best video cards money can
buy right now, but what will happen to the cards that were the best just
a couple weeks ago? As crazy as it sounds, those cards are now
considered mid range. Normally, I almost never run right out and
purchase a video card as soon as it is released. I usually wait and
purchase that top end card when prices fall due to the next generation
of video cards being released. Now is one of those times. We all know
the Radeon 9800 series has been the champ for a long time now, so the
best of the best would be the Radeon 9800XT series. We have one such
card from Celestica today called the 9800XT 256mb Gold Edition!
Celestica's Gold Edition is easily identified by the massive copper
cooling unit strapped to it's side. Look familiar? Sure dies, it looks
just like an X800...
