Hey sweet, Congrats on the X1900GT. No cheap X1800XT's up north?


Sigh, totally OT, but it's looking like another bad year to be a Redskins fan. They were pathetic tonight.

Don't mean to be a downer, but I recently bought four Sapphire cards. Since May I have purchased and am currently using Sapphire x1800xt, two 9600xt's (one for my son's friend one for me) and an X800gto. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SINGLE REBATE ON ANY OF THE FOUR!

All four cards work perfect.

i dont know about rebates but ive had a radeon 7000 and an x300 both saphires and ive had good experiences with them. however with ati you're always best off buying an ati brand card.

Sapphire makes only ATI cards. In the past I don't know what kind of reputation they had, but their recent products I have received have been impressive. Certainly a touch of quality for a reasonable price. If they don't send my rebates I'll get time one day and report them to the BBB.
